Unfortunately, Canada’s customs laws make it difficult for eBay users to buy and sell across borders. Our “de minimis threshold†is set at $20, which means we’re responsible for paying duties and taxes on international purchases worth more than $20. Our threshold -- set in the 1980’s -- is out of step internationally: the US threshold is US$800!
Canada’s low de minimis threshold makes shopping more expensive and creates red tape for entrepreneurs. It also costs taxpayers money because the government spends more to enforce the law than it actually collects at the border.
eBay Canada believes that our laws should reduce burdens on consumers, entrepreneurs, and taxpayers. If you agree, please sign our letter to Finance Minister Bill Morneau.
Participation is easy. Together, we can make a difference.

If were out of step , fix or move , or delete ..
Might make it better to the Canuks to buy stuff from RE stores .
We have WAY TOO MUCH .GOV bs !!!

i don't think tru-doh will make it right as he has to fund his financial abuses. only imports that don't get taxed are, so called, refugees.
Niel, you are starting to sound like a true Canuck! ;)
Much pressure , we got the import allowance from squat to 800.00 USD ,
Im working to have BC go NO EXPORT without processing of timber /grain /fuel /fish all resources & get folks back to work .

Have a watch !
to followup on that tidbit, what about the electioin promise that there would be a program for Infrastructure Renewal, like water systems across the country need upgrading... Our town was hoping for some of the $$$'s to replace watrerlines and sewer lines that were laid starting in ~1930
lots of people were in favour of that smart beneficial type of spending to help the National economy... then the fine print..... Ony projects over 100 million $$ will be accepted...
WTF Big, no Mega cites here we come hands out and shoveling $$ off the back of the truck....
like Ezra inferred the lobbyists are gone syphon off abut 30% from the top...
a canuk i'm not, but i've been talking to one for years. had hilary been elected it would've been a disaster for this country and very similar to what trudeau is doing there except hilary has the dirty background credentials that make justin look like a little bieber. quite frankly, i am a democrat and i think my own party has gone off its rocker and is evidently also very dirty in its activities. yes, there's some of that from republicans too, but they're little league in comparison. politicians are only legalized criminals any more and is why i gave trump a shot.
btw, my wife gets the credit for first calling cnn the clinton news network and she gave it to a news media journalist to use and he did.

i can appreciate that info. they don't seem to make it to jail do they? if they do they are whisked out of it faster than lightning.
i was thinking a bit of trudeau with the 2nd link as he's out of the country more than in and still manages to spend all you've got.

actually, that saddens me to hear it is that widespread, but i've heard bits and pieces of how it was over there from a few years ago when your politicians bankrupted you. it was well on its way here as 0bama ran up a deficit equal to all before him combined thereby doubling our debt. notice that was not a capital o. by the way, what makes you so certain the politicians from over here weren't fully involved in what went on over there?
just an fyi on the spelling as it is angels. not picking a nit, just informing so you know.

reiterating, i was not criticizing him. :'(
for 'there' as pronounced, there's many of these too.

even my name is varied. neal, neil, and how i spell it, niel. funny thing though as there's a rule that says, i before e except after c, so neil is wrong by their own rules.
the english language is a pita and inconsistent. the word english sounds like inglish so why the e? maybe we all pronounce it wrongly as it was originally pronounced? pronunciations i shouldn't get into as that varies by region.
now back to tru$dough's$ customs laws. :D don't reprimand me for this misspelling. :)
