Default UPS question?

Does anyone know how much tax we pay on a product shipped to us from the U.S? If port of entry is Vancouver, do we pay 13%? ORRRRR, do we only pay 7%(GST)?

Tax is assessed based on the US-Can $ conversion and the final destination. In AB, you would only pay the 7% GST. It doesn't matter the port of entry unless that's where you choose to pick it up.

I know that items declared below about $100.00 Can. it's only $5.00 whereas UPS is a minimum of $25.00. Above $100.00, I can't say. My Neuspeed came a long time ago and I don't have the paper work on it anymore.

I'm thinking yes but you should phone both to confirm.
