Default Importing nitrous kit into Canada

I'm looking at throwing some nitrous at my WS6. I've noticed there's a lot for sale in the 'parts for sale' forum but I'm wondering if anyone knows the laws about shipping something like that from the US and importing into Canada?

We ship into Canada weekly - no issues at all. You want to have the items shipped USPS mail as the fees are much less than UPS. This is assuming you are receiving an empty bottle.

Can you tell me approximately how much shipping usually runs? I was just on your website and looks like you have some pretty good prices and are nice and close to the border!

The shipping won't be too bad provided, as was already mentioned, you ship USPS. UPS will kill you with brokerage fees.
Which ever vendor you decide to purchase from can give you an accurate international shipping fee up front and the only other cost you will likely incure is the gst/pst on the value of the kit in Cdn. funds. This tax gets paid thru a brokerage firm who clears the aroduct and then pays the tax on your behalf.
I just ordered a kit myself but but since I am tired of paying all the extra fees and am in a border city I am having it shipped to a US customer center where I can pick it up and then bring it across the border myself.

We ship to Canada all the time as well. In the past we only used UPS however we have noticed that USPS is much cheaper but a pain to deal with. We are working with usps to make it easeir on us to use them.
Let us know if we can help.
Thanks
Dave
