Correct. UPS Ground usually minimum $40 brokerage. I think brokerage is included in UPS Express. Or ship it to blaine or point roberts and bring it across. For sure with that amount you'll have to go in and pay HST on it at the border.

looks like 8%? but im guessing this was written before the HST?

in case thy dont ship with usps but whit ups, fed ex ore so, I have a borker that charges only a flat fee, if you buy for $20 ore for $ 2,000 it dous not matter,

out of my head it is $ 22 ore $ 25 CND for the broking service, so that would not be to bad on anorder that is aparently running into the numbers, where ups and all of the others rip you off.

I will place my order in a few days, in case needed, we can use my broker to arange the import, I have to check the duty on the led's of my last order, i will do this tomorrow, and let you know.

pleas note, custom fee is not HST, so if there was a 8% duty, than it is the cost of the product + the cost of shipping = total cost pre duty, than ad the 8% duty, and than ad the 12% HST.

tax tax tax, we cant go around it, however the duty, is not that bad I find.

i will post what I paid on duty last time, I think it was less than 8%, I think it was 5 ore so. I wil check

I'm in from Vernon if Mike31154 is also in to help with the shipping a little.

I would like 96 XP-E royal blues and 48 XP-G Cool Whites. 144 x 60 degree optics as well.

On page 1 it lists who is ordering..but Milad, yours shows only getting 144 optics...but having 168 leds?
