We have decided to publish this page to help make you aware of the typical cost associated in purchase an Item like a projector from the USA and shipping it to Canada, we have used British Columbia as our destination province in this example. Canada map
PLEASE NOTE: ALL PRODUCTS SOLD ON THE COMPLETE-IT.CA WEB SITE COME WITH FULL MANUFACTURES CANADIAN WARRANTY.

In the case of a Plasma TV Display, like a 42" Panasonic expect to pay $400.00 shipping, similar customs rates, providing values are similar

Our example is a Projector.

Say the projector is: $1,699 USD
Shipping cost to BC is $ 114 USD

Your first expense is Visa / MasterCard charge you an additional 2.5 Percent on your USD to Canadian conversion rate, referred to as a Service fee. ( CIBC fees )

Today August 8, 2006 the current visa rate from CIBC Visa is 1.1398

USD to Canadian conversion. Multiply by 1.1398
So far your Canadian Dollar total for the projector is: $2,066.45

Unfortunately, The Government has not got their share yet, Local taxes.

On this $2,066.45 purchase you are paying an additional 13% Federal and Provincial tax, this adds $268.64

Running total is now $2,335.09

Still more you are asking ? Yes. Brokerage charges and Duties, we have provided links to UPS rates for your reference.

UPS and all other Brokers have a Entry Prep Fee Projector image
Entry Prep Fee on this Order is 66.70 + gst Total of $70.70
Running total is now $2,405.79
Next is the Disbursement Fees
Disbursement Fees in this case are 2.7 percent,
a total of taxes and duties paid Total $11.44
Additionally, Duties will be applied per the regulated amount by Canada Customs, this typically ranges 7.5 percent on Projector related equipment.

Add $154.95 on this shipment for Duties

Your grand total is 2405.79+ 154.95 + 11.44 = $2,572.18CDN

Your cost on this purchase from us was $2,328.82 a SAVINGS of $242.36 !

One important thing not mentioned here is Grey market product purchased from the USA will likely have no warranty from Canadian Manufactures, Should any warranty service be required, the product would likely need to be returned to the USA, at additional cost. Not to mention the time you will be with out your product.
