Shipping to Canada is NOT hard at all -- you can ship USPS First Class Parcel up to 4 lbs. and if you are clever with your gift shopping you can fill a nice sized box with lots of stuff, stay under the $20 customs limit and stay within the 4 lb. for the USPS First Class Mail. Other forms of shipment are either VERY expensive or VERY slow or both. The Customs Declaration form CN22 is very easy to fill out and you can even pick one up and fill it out at home so you won't have to bother once you get to the post office. |
thanks cindy for this claification... I am glad.. for I got stung on my first yt GE and have not signed up again.. for I go out of my way to make sure I make a nice gift box and then to have to pay 25. duty I was shocked.. hence this thread...
hugs
