Re: Canadian Taxes and Duty Example 2023

Canada taxes and duties seems to be worse than UK 20% VAT I assumed Canada and the US were closely aligned but clearly not. It depends on the region of Canada.

Re: Canadian Taxes and Duty Example 2023

The DHL fee also applies to when you order straps as well and can be quite punitive if you only order one or so straps. Recommend ordering extra straps with the watch purchase or order several straps a...
