i want to buy a camera from amazon.com and wondering about the duty rates. anyone know what i would be charged? i heard that all cameras are duty free?
i'm assuming you're driving down across the border to pick it up at a PO Box?
you can check cbsa's website to see what % it is.
here's an estimate calculator

i've bought electronics around $100 ish and declared it no problems, they just let me through. just make sure you have your amazon receipt as proof to show the actual cost of the item.

^ if you are planning on ordering to canada though.. don't bother.. amazon.com dont' ship electronics to canada so your only option is to go to the border to pick up
