Whether these taxes are collected appears to be entirely arbitrary. Some customers have told us that no taxes were charged at all. If they are charged then the amount to pay is not high. For example one customer told us that he paid $5.98 tax on a pair of ski bindings plus a $5 "handling fee", a total of $10.98. As he put it "They find a way to collect, but its not much". We have had many repeat orders from the our US customers so presumably import charges are not a problem. Sales Tax. US CUSTOMS IMPORT CHARGES AND SALES TAX Goods entering Canada are liable to two different charges, the "Goods and Services Tax" (GST) and import tariffs which apply for certain goods.
