Consideration would also have to be given on how to get the goods into Canada
without attracting all sorts of tax. If items are sent to AP in Gander, the
standard course is that anything over $20C (over $60C for gifts) attracts GST
of 7%; I am not familiar with HST in the maritime provinces, but if this were
to apply, the rate would be 15%, not 7%.
There must be a way to label the packages, but I don't know what that would be
- someone would have to determine what CCRA (customs) will pass through without
a holdup.

a.. For parcels some other carrier would be needed. DHL rates are through
the
roof, so maybe Gander is beginning to look better just for the cost, if we
can get Andy P. to push a box on a plane. Otherwise still checking on
other carriers.
