Tariff info from Japan

[Jim_imp]

I just ordered a pricey part from Japan (Samurider)- what kind of hassle can I expect with tariff/customs ? thanks

I ordered a titanium exhaust system. No issues.

None.

Ditto. I've ordered a number of items from our friend and forum sponsor Takashi (Samurider.com) and have experienced zero issues with customs. Spend away!

How about for Canadian customers?

Even with shipments sent via USPS from the U.S., Canadians end up paying a "customs" fee, plus taxes when they pick up the parcel at Canada Post. This is still much cheaper than ground based couriers such as UPS, my brown-shirt nemesis.

How does it work for shipments from Japan?

Guessing we will at minimum pay gst/pst. Never ordered specifically from Samurider though. Getting a full assessment would be brutal as it would be like $300 on a $1500 exhaust.

Hopefully the TPP speeds up...

I wouldn't hold my breath regarding the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). The average Canadian will not likely experience any tangible benefits.

NAFTA certainly didn't make cross-border shopping any cheaper for Canadians.

I truly envy American motorcycle enthusiasts. With our higher costs of ownership, including the ridiculous prices we pay for insurance, I'm wondering how long I can continue to justify ownership of my CB in Canada!

Do a little shopping around. Some places have free shipping if the order exceeds a certain dollar amount. Although I don't recall who I got them from, my Chic Sport Trunk Seat and shorty rear fender shipped free.
