Duty On Items from US to Canada
Hey, anyone have a lot of experience having items shipped from the US to Canada? I want to bid on some golf clubs on eBay and have them sent to a friend's house in California, and then have her send them to me as a gift. I was under the assumption that gifts were duty exempt, but I've just been informed that any item in excess of $60 is subject to duty charges. I've had things shipped from the US as gifts from private citizens in the past and haven't been charged duty, so this is news to me.
So if anyone has any experiences or ways to avoid paying duty on gifts it would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want to pay another couple of hundred dollars in duty on a set of irons.
