Robert,

These brokerage fees (along with cold weather, taxes...) kill us up here. I often find it cheaper to ship parts to a border location within the USA (say a UPS store in Blaine, WA?) and collect/clear them myself. As long as the border agents aren't idiots, and you have a valid passport, it should be fine.

CBSA Chapter 99, Section 9966.00.00 states that all vehicles and parts used solely for those vehicles are duty free. PST and GST still apply, but no other fees should be charged.

Brokerage fees are usually included with Priority shipments via UPS AND FedEx, but with large or heavy parts, the cost of shipping alone will kill you. Ground shipments are always whacked with these crazy brokerage fees. Items sent via post (if they are small and light get away with a flat $5 fee from Canada Post (plus taxes).

Good luck!
Mark
