[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 2098664, member: 71234"][I]Any suggestions on sending to Canada.[/I] It seems that the Canadians are no longer applying the low $20 import threshold for import taxes, on postal items only. It will still be applied to items sent with the GSP or by courier services like Fedex. It seems that $100 is more like the new [I]de facto[/I] level for charging taxes but this is not official, they simply seem to have decided that collecting tax on very small values is simply not worth the cost of collection for the revenue raised. I reiterate that this only apples to postal imports. Sending stuff anywhere is safer if you do not mention coins or precious metals on the customs form. Numismatic Material,with a modest value is far better. It you buy a postage label online you get delivery confirmation to Canada and many other countries. Experienced shippers will tell you that completely ignoring anything ebay says about sending stuff abroad is a very good start.[/QUOTE]
