Just installed a complete exhaust system + cat, rear hatch struts and bumper
end caps from Ron at BusDepot  (thanks Ron-very impressed with your prices
and service).It came in a box via US air mail-I had to pay GST (7%) + $can5
handling fee.However there may be PST (7%)-I know we don't pay  PST on US
goods here in BC or Alberta-unsure about Quebec .And there were no duties
even though the most parts were from Germany.
Hope this helps
GerryR
