I was search Ebay for on of those X10 wireless camera kits...from one of the listings it led me to x10's website.
http://www.x10.com/products/x10_vk45a.htm

At the bottom of the Site it says.

"Orders to Canada have a $10 Shipping & Handling Charge and will have a 7% goods & services tax (GST #10575 8056 RT0001) added to the order"

How can they do this...they are based in Seattle. I would pay GST again when it goes by customs.

Many US companies have the ability to collect GST for their Canadian customers -- you will not be charged GST at the border, although you may have to pay duty.

All the US magazines I order from the US charge GST as does Lands' End.

The advantage to me is that I don't get hit with the $5.00 Canada Post handling fee.
