Canada- duty tax on parts from U.S.?

6MT · 04-02-2010, 10:34 AM

IF, and only IF, the parts are manufactured in North America then they qualify under NAFTA and are duty-free. But they are not tax-free. You still must pay provincial & federal taxes upon arrival.

All of my Stillen parts (HFC's, CBE, CAI, and sway bars) were duty-free. But I paid the GST on them. Actually, Stillen paid it on my behalf. AND, there's no provincial sales tax in Alberta (WooHoo!!), so I only paid the extra 5% for the GST. But on my Volks wheels, Toyo tires, and TPMS sensors, I was subject to duty. Because they were manufactured outside North America. Even though the wheel package was assembled in the USA, it's because of their place of manufacture as to why they were subject to duty.

I hope this helps.
