I had to pay duty on a Hobbyboss Su-27. as for hobbyeasy, I ordered on saturday night they shipped monday the package was sitting at my door tonight...awesome stuff right there. I dispute them and get the money back. I’ve only had to do that twice, since 1999 I haven’t paid a cent extra on any kits or assesories shipped to Canada. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I bought stuff from hannants and sprue brothers for years and never got dinged once, about 2 years ago I started to get a customs form with charges on every one of my orders. so far I have never had that issue from and orders from Hong Kong . and I am pretty sure that I was mistaken when I called it duty, it was most likely GST.

When a new portion of the Free Trade Agreement kicked in Jan 1/1999 it had a clause that said all Hobby supplies were free of duty and GST. I was aware of it at the time as I was working with Cutting Edge and sample product was being sent over the border to me. All charges ceased in 99. Whenever I challenge charges (only twice), I always quote the hobby exemption. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
