Huffer,

Re the tax question: I import lots of stuff into Canada from the US - for personal use. Some is bought from companies; most from individuals. If not done properly you will get KILLED by the duties, taxes, and brokerage fees.

For the simple reason that I would not put it past Canada Customs to be scanning for posts like this, I will not post my simple tricks of the trade directly. However if you post your email address I will contact you directly.

Regards.

Jeff
