I thing you know it buy now, but I've been getting stuff in the US for the last 2 years. I never paid any Duty, even on stuff from P.P. originating for Porsche.
Of course I did not write down on my papers that it was made in Germany and they don't ask.
So you only pay GST/PST or HST if you live in some Province like Ontario where the &*^%$#+ Premier introduce it without being part of his platform. Actually, the
"little caca", broke over 50 "election promises" in his first week...
Back to the bad road; Under declaring stuff use to be easy... Now if you have not been to a crossing lately, they are all equip with computer. If you pretend that you lost your receipt but think you paid $35 for the tire, they will look it up.
You get on their bad side and you guess it, you are now red flagged for life.
You already saving 50% on the price by getting it there, be happy

and pay the full tax because it's not worth the trouble when one get caught.
If you can not get the stuff yourself USPS is the best way as you not get slap with unbelievable brokerage fee like UPS charge
P
.S. If this was not your intention in the first place (under declaring)... sorry but my spiel is now consider Public Announcement for the good of all
