It should be $8.50 plus 5% GST on the value of the shipment. Mine was around $48, mostly because I had to pay 13% HST on the value of my shipment...
That's right boys and girls, buy your stuff through Alberta (or PEI) and save! They're the only two provinces that either don't have a PST, or don't have an agreement with CBSA to collect PST...Last time I checked anyways.
Note: Under HST rules you're supposed to self-assess and report HST on importations into the province from another province with a lower tax rate...there is probably a form or something to use.
