The duty / import fees I ended up having to pay was $30 CAD. $12 or so was tax, the rest was processing fees. Considering the phone here was $291 CAD with shipping (tax not included), our tax rate at 12% would actually be $30+ anyways. In summary, good experience, expected duty, rate 8/8 - for the shipping experience (I haven't tried the phone yet Tongue)

Canadian here too, I also got mine today. DHL wanted to charge me $51.84 for the $199.99 USD Convergence Package. I self cleared and paid CBSA $26.00 directly.

I found this to clear the package yourself and it was super easy. You tell DHL you want to clear the package yourself and they provide a paper saying that it cleared customs. This is NOT the waybill (I made this mistake). So you print off the Pine64 email, The paper from DHL and you go to CBSA, for me (Ottawa) Its at the airport (140 Thad Johnson Pvt). They check the papers, and you pay only the taxes. For me they listed the item as $199 CAD and I paid $26.00 CAD in taxes. I got a blue paper and gave that to DHL and they gave me the phone.


This is my first time and it took awhile. I'm not sure if its worth it but for bigger items It totally will be.
That's so interesting, for me I just got the notification through dhl for customs clearance / duty owed. So I clicked to view the invoice and paid through dhl , which was $30. I wonder if the port of entry factors into this? I'm near the west coast.
