Members Sonydaze Posted December 30, 2017 Members Report Posted December 30, 2017 My understanding: Asian manufactured equipment is subject to duties (they are not covered by nafta and there are no free trade agreements with China or Taiwan). If you are out of Canada for over 48 hours you can be exempt for up to $800 Canadian if you import it personally... as in not for your business. You should find the tariff code for the machine and country of origin so you know where you stand if the customs officer happens to feel strict when you cross. https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/trade-commerce/tariff-tarif/menu-eng.html Quote http://www.bound2please.com Sewing machines: 3 - Sunstar 590BL, Artisan Toro 3200, Juki LK-1900HS, Juki DDL-8500-7, Juki DDL-5550N, Pfaff 138-6/21, Pfaff 546-H3, Pfaff 335-H3, Adler 221-76, Singer 144WVS33, Singer 29K-51, Siruba 747B

All prices are in USD, as I expected. If there is a different URL to a Canadian affiliate, please correct your link.

Members plinkercases Posted December 30, 2017 Author Members Report Posted December 30, 2017 I suspeft shipping from AB to ON may be almost as much as a leisuely drive down tonsee cowboyBob and pay up at the boarder.... Still cuirous if i would pay all the US taxes at point if sale then GST at the boarder... seems unlikely but a factor...

Members brmax Posted December 30, 2017 Members Report Posted December 30, 2017 I would assume that taxes are paid locally for products purchased, and so I would charge it at the appropriated rate if personally used. If the products are listed as a business sale then the typical requirement of a business tax # is listed on the sale and kept in records for both present sale and future sales hopefully and so not charged or charged the designated amount for the product. The cross border tax is sure a new one on me and so that home work is time consuming initally. But in the meantime while not knowing or having the typical broker/border paperwork required I again would charge my typical local and State required tax. Not that i can fix all the waste but some of the tax will benefit my old age medical and some infrastructure needed repairs so my pickup truck can keep rollin Good day Floyd Quote

So decided to see what the cost is today for a Techsew 2700. Shipped from Montreal to a Calgary residential address is $330. I'd sooner pay the $330 than drive 200-300 miles one way unless I already had a trip or vacation planned nearby. My time is worth more than that. Tom Quote
Members Sheilajeanne Posted December 31, 2017 Members Report Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) In this case, I have a friend who lives 20 minutes from the guy with the machine, and there's another friend in Detroit who wants a piece of my time too. I also want the seller to show me how to set up the machine and the ABCs of using it. This will be my first leather sewing machine! It also happens I am currently unemployed/semi retired.
