Default Canadians fees

I will chime in on the fees us Canadians pay as i know exactly what it is.

We have to pay taxes on all imported items over $20 cdn value. The taxes vary by province. In BC where i am , it is 12% tax plus a 5$ service fee for the honor of charging you the tax. So on $220, it would be close to $30 he would have to pay. SOme provinces , it is 15.25 % and Alberta is only 5%

Now if someone sends it UPS rather then mail, we have to pay a 35$ (this amount may have changed) customs clearance fee in addition to the charges.
