  Wow, you are amazing Paul. I'd like to hear
about your technique when you are ready. Too

  Well NAFTA relates to duties. I haven't
paid duty on any import from the US for
5 or more years. But I still have to pay
our 7% GST just like when I buy locally
(fair is fair :)  and Canada Post charges
a $5 Customs handling fee which is a lot
on a $20 purchase but not too much on a
$200 purchase.

  Hey Sam how about some details!

  I pay about $7.50 CDN (~$5USD) for 120
E6 with tax (7 and 6%).
