I just got a vintage gillette super adjustable off of ebay. The item is being shipped from the U.S. and I'm in Canada. Will I need to pay duties on it when it arrives?
Duty on vintage razors from U.S. to Canada

It's a hit or miss thing, I just received my Weber from US and wasn't charged anything.
I've been dinged 3 times so far. It depends on a number of things: was it marked gift or mechandise, value, border guards mood that day, etc.
What's the declared value on the customs form?
ha, u said duty.
im not from canada so i dont know. i just thought of a funny comment to make. good luck with the duty or no duty

I've bought lots of razors, soaps, blades, etc. from the US. Never got dinged for duties.
Jeez, I thought that the whole point of NAFTA is that there wouldn't be any tariffs between Canada, the US and Mexico. What am I missing here?
I don't want to comment, cause there's 2 of them on their way! No jinx's!
It's just the Canadian Government getting away with taxing us some more $$$ if they think they can.
I've ordered a number of items and been lucky with no duty. Throw the dice.

I've read some stuff online about paying a certain percentage for razors, but it didnt say if that was for only brand new ones. It seems silly that they can charge for a used item to be mailed across the boarder. One 50-100 year old razor could make multiple exchanges across the boarder, collecting taxes every time! Doesnt seem right. I don't know if the fact that it is used and very old will affect the outcome.
I have never been charged any duties or taxes for the razors coming into Canada from any country (USA, UK, Europe etc)
I have never had to pay any tax on shaving supplies from the US - including vendors, members, and Ebay sales. Tobacco I find has about a 50/50 chance of being taxed from my experience. I think if it is under $70 or so dollars, it should be fine. Even so, if you do get taxed, it isn't much for something like shaving supplies.
