Ebay and duty
« on: October 01, 2014, 11:40:00 AM »
Just bought a front fender on ebay for $250 and was automatically charged $33 duty.  Is ebay doing this now for all cross border purchases?  This was a used fender if that makes a difference.

Prospect, no duty on motorcycles or motorcycle parts to Canada. Customs can charge HST at the border, or perhaps they added a "handling" charge.

I just checked and I was charged $41.84 Canadian dollars.  Classified as Import Charges. 

Looks like Global shipping program. 

I had no choice but to use it.  Don't need it if you ask me.
