there is a package deal on the ssa website. its $820 and weighs 60 lbs. how much am i looking at after customs, shipping and all. im asking because i never bought off the internet. is customs going to rape me? thanks in advance.

 

Customs charges are based on 6.1% of the canadian value of what's being imported.

 

I deal all the SSA into Canada....
the SSA/Sundown combo's on the SSA site are only available in the US

 

so you can only get the sub shipped to canada ? how much would a 15'' xcon be through you after all customs and shipping.

 

And you know this because???????

 

SSA wont ship Sundown to Canada either.
If you want Sundown, you'll need to find a dealer.

There is a Canadian Dealer list on the Sundown Website.

Duty is 6.1%. There are tax implications for items that fall under the FTA - basically you're responsible for paying PST/GST on items imported too.

If a company has an exclusive deal with a Canadian supplier, they probably won't ship to Canada, in order to force you to deal with the supplier(s).

I've imported a LOT of stuff into Canada over the years.

 

In addition to the 6.1%, most shipping companies will charge a "Brokerage Fee", which is a fee you pay because the company will front the duty fees for you and therefore charge you a premium on it. Its all over the UPS website as well.

So for an $800 ish product, you would be paying an additional $61.40 on top of duties. DHL is like this too. I ordered a product worth $12.00. I paid about $13 to have it shipped here, and DHL charged me an additional $9.50 for these fees. That is simply the cost of importing, buy local to save yourself the headache lol.

 

the brokerage fee is aprox $50 when dropped off at your door...
I'll give you a good deal on the sub
