Hi, it would be good if someone at Red can chime in please or anyone who's ordering abroad. As far as myself, i'm ordering from Canada, does anyone know how much are import duties or any taxes involved or not?
 
You'll pay taxes - depending on what province you are in either g.s.t., or h.s.t. - and then broker fees, which are rolled into the Fed-Ex shipping charges. There won't be any import duties because these are made in the U.S.A. and fall under NAFTA.

So what % tax do you pay on a pair of jeans in the province where you live? That's the % tax you'll pay for this camera…

(I'm in Toronto Ontario, so I'll pay 13%)

Yikes, thanks for the answer. Over here its 5% but still yikes.
 
If you have a tax number you can get both sales taxes reimbursed.
 
You need to be registered as a company and, (in Quebec at least), make more than 30k a year from this company. At the same time you need to charge your clients taxes so that's mostly where you get reimbursed, by deducing expenditure taxes from the ones you charge your clients, every three months.

Its the same here for all the above except the tax percentage of course which differs between provinces.
 
Are you in Alberta?
 
Awesome, man.

Glad to see someone able to get work there. I come back a couple times a year for vacation, we should get coffee some time! Have a Scarlet play date.

Most of the world wishes that they only had to pay 5%! Most of the rest of the world is much higher. In Europe most of us are paying at least 25%, often more once various fees are taken care of, and Pietro in Brazil is paying 60%!
 
10% gst in Oz.. glad i dont live in Brazil.. thats muy duro man! Always hurts though when you get the call / email from customs.."Please give us more money and we will give you the item for which you have already paid for" and then hope for good exchange rates on the day ! " ouch!!
 
We (sort of) get our GST / HST tax back here in Canada in the form of an input tax credit - so even though I will pay 13% when Scarlet is delivered, I charge the same to my clients and only send the difference to Ottawa.
Doesn't VAT work the same in Europe?

Pretty much, yes.
 
Hi people. I have an order coming from red today for a Mattebox and 256gb SSD to Toronto Canada, and I got an invoice in the mail from fed-ex. You just get charged GST and NOT HST. So it's only 5% which is recoverable if you have incoming GST from clients. So not too bad. There are no duties charged because the items fall under NAFTA, and no provincial sales tax because the sale originated elsewhere.

I must say the who made in the USA thing never meant much to me other then jobs for our friends to the south, but now that it means no duties, I'm much happier that Jim choose that route then out sourcing.
