Whats up with shipping to Canada!!!

[BudAshes]

The first time I shipped to canada the package just disapeered completely, i then realized why no one wants to ship to their.

I only ship my ebay items to U.S., it's just not worth the extra effort to ship to Canada if you know you're item is guaranteed to sell in the U.S.

I have done my customs research It's not illegal to mark something of a 60 dollar or below as a gift. If it exceeds 60 $, then taxes are added.

Prove it.

I don't have to prove anything to you when you can call them yourself and ask.

Importing Non-Commercial Goods by Mail.

Non-commercial goods are:

* for your individual use and not for resale; and
* not for commercial, industrial, occupational, institutional, or other similar use.

The pamphlet explains our requirements and procedures for processing non-commercial international mail that arrives in Canada, including letters and packages.

Note
All amounts quoted are in Canadian dollars. For the purposes of this brochure, duties and taxes include goods and services tax or harmonized sales tax, and applicable provincial sales tax.
Importing commercial goods by mail

For information on how to import commercial goods by mail, see the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA) publication called A Guide to Importing Commercial Goods. For more detailed technical information, refer to the Memoranda D5 series. These publications are available at any CCRA business window or customs border services office, or by calling 1-800-461-9999. You can also find our publications at www.ccra-adrc.gc.ca
What does the exporter have to do?

We consider the person sending the mail to be the exporter. Exporters have to complete a written declaration and attach it to the mail item they are sending to Canada. Countries that participate in the Universal Postal Convention use a standard customs declaration form. More than 100 countries, including Canada, support this convention. The convention states that exporters must attach a standard customs declaration form to all items they ship by mail. In this declaration the exporter must accurately describe the goods, state their origin, and report their value.

A false or incomplete declaration could result in unnecessary delays in processing your shipment, or in enforcement action by the CCRA.
What mail items are duty- and/or tax-free?

You don't have to pay duties and taxes if your mail item is:

* a gift worth $60 or less; or
* worth $20 or less.

Mail items that are gifts worth $60 or less

A gift sent by a friend or family member abroad to a person in Canada is exempt from duties and taxes as long as the gift is worth $60 or less. Alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, and advertising material do not qualify for the gift exemption.

The declaration should clearly identify the goods as a gift, and should include a gift card or tag to avoid any misunderstanding. For gifts worth more than $60, you have to pay duties and taxes on the amount over the $60 exemption.

For example, if you receive a gift from overseas worth $100, only $60 of the gift's value qualifies for the gift exemption. You will have to pay duties and taxes on the remaining portion of the value, in this case $40.

Mail items worth $20 or less

If the goods you import by mail are worth $20 or less, they are duty- and/or tax-free.

The following goods do not qualify for this exemption:

* alcoholic beverages, cigars, cigarettes, and manufactured tobacco;
* books, periodicals, or magazines, if the publisher should be registered for goods and services tax but is not; and
* goods you ordered or bought from a Canadian retailer or intermediary, but which were mailed directly to you from outside Canada.

When you import goods worth more than $20 that do not qualify for the gift exemption, you have to pay duties and taxes on the entire value. You cannot combine the $60 gift exemption and the $20 exemption for the same goods.

Try again. Nothing in that passage states it is acceptable to mark a sale as a gift. It's fraud.

and everyone that i have traded with in canada asked me to lie.
