buy from the states and pay those, it becomes the same price as it costs here.... strange that, imposing import tarriffs that cause goods to become roughly the same price.
but as i said, if you manage to dodge the taxman, you can save a lot of money. |
i go across to the US and pick up goods atleast twice a month. Dodging the tax man involves declaring the good at the border and paying the 13% tax (Im in BC) on them. Thats it. I also have to pay a $4 fee per box to my holding company in Washington or $20 for a pallet but thats it. They also have free use of a forklift.
