I have ordered from them 9 or 10 times.Lucky will lower the price on the invoice if you ask.The only extra I've payed is PST+GST+ $5 handling fee.There is no duty on them as far as I know (or payed).I've also never had any problem with there service,they have been great.
Ive also ordered from many others from Asia to the EU and England never had any problems with customs.
Hope this helps.

HI
As stated Cda Customs does not charge an excise fee on kits. One odd thing is that this only applies to kits made in the US........ if the kit is made in Jpn (even if you buy it in the US) it will be subject to an excise fee. But I have never ever heard of this happening ....
HOWEVER, if you get hit by CC, you will pay 15% of the declasred value plus a "handling fee" usually 5.00 but could be 8.50 (IIRC).
