real skinny?

Just had another one that wants GIFT checked for a $22.00 item, even though my TOS states that I follow all USA and INTERNATIONAL customs laws!

If I ignore his wish (hey, it ain't my fault CA is a high tax country), how much is he going to be socked?

Also, in all honesty, is there ANY liability on my part if I just go along??

TIA!

7 percent Federal Tax and maybe another 7 percent provincial plus $5.00 brokerage fee

Well, this is via USPS, so NO brokerage fee, correct?

Just ignore the request. If he threatens a neg, just forward the email to safeharbor and Revenue-Canada.

The cost your buyer should be:
7 % General sales tax
?? % Provincial sales tax (varies from province)
$5.00 can. funds administration fee.


If your return address is not a business address, I would estimate there's an 80% chance he won't be taxed and the item will be considered as a gift by Canadian customs even if you declare merchandise.

No--Canada Post charges $5.00 when it collects taxes for Customs....it was sent by a delivery service like Purolator the brokerage fee would be $30.00
