Hi Guys,

I've got some news that was forward to me by our freight agent, apparently effective 2017 there will be no customs duty on EU to Canada shipments (CETA agreement)
What this means for you/our Canadian clients, that there is no duty applicable to our orders.

Likely the only levy left is GST and the administrative fee
 
That's great news!

Who do you ship with, as I know UPS dings all incoming foreign shipments with a rather high "brokerage fee".

90% Fedex, but with over-sized items like the Recaro seats we'll use TNT.

FYI, parts that fit in a 17x12x3 inches flat rate ship €29 Fedex ($39 cad) takes 3-5 business days to arrive. (to major urban area's fedex has a surcharge for more remote regions)
