Ok, well i have been wondering about this, i live in Canada and if i were to buy something from the US, is there any way to get out of paying duty and taxes and how do they know what your shipping at the border and what you payed for it if its not from a company...

Thanks Joe

I ordered a pair of $199 US bindings and recieved a bill for duties and taxes of $35 when shipped with DHL from Proctorjones.

You could always get it shipped to a mate in the US (Heaps of companies will offer free shipping to the lower 48 with purchases over a certain amount) and then get him/her to send it to you as a gift
