I need to buy some parts and it seems that US parts  dealers have better pri=
ce than their canadian conterpart.

I was  wondering what is happening with customs and taxes? Is it worth  it?





Pierre, sometime it's good  sometimes it's bad.  Check your exchange rate.
You will always have  to pay the taxes PST & GST and handling or brokerage fee
unless the package slips through customs undetected and this DOES happen
occasionally.  Best deal is to use the Postal system.  Courier charges  for
brokerage can be outrageous.  Always check with Canadian vendors such  as myself as
we may have a better deal.  See my _Vanagon Items Forsale_
(http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/sales.htm)  webpage  for my offerings.
