This is funny, because as a Canadian, we experience this on everything above $100 that we order from the US. Either find a Canadian supplier or get ready to pay hundreds in duties. I just paid over $100 to ship a $200 package that's arriving today.
Today I learned.
Do you usually know how much it will be? My shipment was just a surprise $50 with zero indication that there would even be a charge, let alone the amount.
Unless there's a prepaid duty program like eBay, Amazon, and Rockauto has, nope, it's a suprise. I got an email from Fedex saying I owe $50 before my package can be delivered. Not much choice in the matter as they have your goods.
