Hey Doc PC
I can tell you fo' sho' that a Canadian shipper (company or individual) CANNOT charge you our federal GST (Goods and Services Tax 5%) nor can they charge you PST (Provincial Sales tax). There should be no taxes. Like Marty said, don't use UPS - ask them to ship CanadaPost or CanPar. I've also heard shipping by Greyhound Lines is really cheap but I don't have any first-hand experience. Good luck. Pedro
