Celica Forums General Discussion General Customs fees

anyone outside from USA ever ordered parts from the US, can tell me how much is taxes/custom fees you usually have to pay? ie: CAI

thanks

Almost everything I have on my car I have ordered from the USA (I live in Alberta) Stuff ranging from gauges to my exhaust. Ur best bet is to have things shipped via USPS although it's slower you don't have to deal with much, if any, customs charges. Most online shops ship to Canada via UPS, Fed-Ex or Purolator and trust me, you will pay some serious bills for customs/tariffs. For example, my TRD exhaust was shipped via UPS, value of the exhaust $500USD...amount I had to pay just for customs $130. That doesn't even include the cost I paid for shipping. I'm not saying this to complain because even with these charges the stuff always costs less than what it would here in Canada. Just to make you aware there can be some hefty fees. Almost any place can tell you what the total will be before you are charged for the purchase. My advise as well would be to purchase from the ECelica store here. The shipping is very reasonable.

charles where do you live ?

the only province where the french and english people hate eachother!
Montreal, Quebec, Canada!

ok, i should be ok then i cause ecelica ships with usps priority mail? if so, that's sooo coool i'll start ordering other parts from the store very soon again!

heh, doesn't really matter if usps is slower, as long as the product gets it's way on my door step, i'm happy

ps: i was curious cause my friend bought radar detector from cali, which was 300$, and he got raped 150$ in custom/tax fees...

i live in belgium i don't think they can ship parts to here for a low price
