Hello,

I know that photographic equipment is duty free from USA to Canada. I thought it was the same all over the world, but I guess globalization is not yet a completed task!

I've had mine only four days. I found the only one in stock for 25 miles around.

It is a beauty and worth every penny.

You'll love it.

More like Doodie. Anyway, it will likely be worth it. I love mine, and have only had it a month. It is super sweet. I haven't experienced anything else like it.

Uh...not in BC....I paid a sizable amount of duty on any purchase I have made from B&H. I have been shopping Vistek recently for that very reason...and the dollar at par.

It's not duty you are paying. B&H ships by UPS. UPS charges an obscene amount of Brokerage fees to clear the shipment into Canada through customs. Canada Post charges $ 5.00 to do the paperwork. Ups is at least $ 25.00 to do the same. Their brokerage fees increase with shipment value.
There is no duty to Canada from the states on Photogaphic equipment. You pay only the brokerage fee and GST and PST. And you pay the taxes on the shipping and the brokerage as well. I try and only use the post office for shipping.

cheers
Chris

Yeah. Even shipping ups to Ontario is insane at times, price wise.

On a recent $4500 dollar order from B&H UPS wanted more than $400.00 when it arrived....I will no longer order from the US. Vistek carries the same products. Free Shipping.
