You have to pay taxes anyway so that can be deleted from your equation. Yes, you do pay the duty of 6.1%. As for transportation, make a holiday out of it. I think your rule of thumb is a bit high. There is a car dealer here in Halifax who sells a lot of late model high performance cars. Brings them in from the States. So it still must be viable to import and save money. Just sayin'.
