Unless you are going to smuggle it across, which I would not recommend, you will not avoid the GST. The customs folks will be collectng it. All is not lost, however, since paying GST (7%) will cost you less than paying, as you will before the end of the year, 13.5% Federal Sales Tax. -larry -- The only things to survive a nuclear war will be cockroaches and IBM PCs. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | // Larry Phillips | | \X/ lphillips@lpami.wimsey.bc.ca -or- uunet!van-bc!lpami!lphillips | | COMPUSERVE: 76703,4322 -or- 76703.4322@compuserve.com | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
