Taxes/Tariffs

I ordered a bunch of loose Marvel and DC figures from a seller/store in China. They ship free internationally. I've never ordered from overseas, only the States. I poked around the govt website but need to look a little more. Would anyone know how much the taxes are with items coming into Canada or a different site other then the govt?

I've never ordered from China but from the USA you might get hit with local taxes and some customs charges.

It's been a while since I've last had to pay any sort of duty fees, but I don't think I've ever had to when it came to ordering from China sellers. They usually just arrive in the mail box. I don't think you have to be too worried.

Re: Taxes/Tariffs

from my experience...when you try ordering and buying stuff abroad that is more than $100 in total...then youll get charge with tax....it happen to me when i bought a $200++ super robot from japan.....when i try to pick it up at the local post office they charge me $25-35 extra......not too sure about the exact amount but you know where im gettin at....

Thanks for sharing your advice/opinions. I should find out mid Dec when everything trickles in. Will post with the results when they show up.
