Duchess Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share Posted November 26, 2010 I think we could extend the deadline until November 30th for the gift exchange and do no real damage to our gifting timeline.

Elena Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 (edited) I still don't see my name there in the list, is it any problem because I am not in the US?

CharityRackham Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Note to gift exchange people. The Canadian Government has gone mad with HST (our two taxes combined to make one ridiculous sales tax). They are charging the receiver HST on any items shipped to them. Today I had to pay $42 in order to receive a gift from a friend in the US. Please, if you haven't sent your gift yet (Gertie is up here as am I - Don't know who else) do not put an actual value on it. NCV is the acceptable value. It means No Commercial Value. I'm going to have to let the two other friends who are sending me Christmas Gifts that this is so. I'm going to go broke accepting gifts. Darn it!!! Thanks guys and gals.

PoD Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Just incase theres anyone else in the UK doing this, the last day to post stuff to the USA that will get there before xmas is the 10th. We get stung for import duty on parcels too but as long as the customs label reads a value of less than $28 we dont have to pay it. ...and then I discovered the wine...

Gunpowder Gertie Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Oi- I don't think we'll need t' worry about HST on these Gift Exchange gifts, as the value will be far less than what the theshold is for payment of HST. I recieve a lot o' stuff from me neighbours t' the South, and I generally never have a problem with havin' t' pay HST. The last time I had t' pay that much HST was for a sword with a listed value of 300.00. And yes, 'twas marked as a gift, yet it did have that as a value. Of course, should me secret Santa decide t'send me a 300 dollar sword as my gift- why I'd be much obliged, an' happy t' give the money t' the Provincial gov't. Note t' my gift exchange partner... Nay, ye won't be gettin' a 300 dollar sword from meself. I'll be thinkin' it..I just won't be sendin' it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elena Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I had an unpleasant surprise when mailing my gift too. They put in the customs rules for Christmas a limit of 400g to the gifts to USA. So one of the books I intended to send remains with me until next time... -A swashbuckling adventures RPG, set in 1720 in West Indies; winner of Distant Fantasies& RPG-D Member's Choice Award; RPG Conference's Originality Award; 2011 & 2012 Simming Prizes- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharityRackham Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Elena. That's less then a pound? Really? Bugger. Is it like that the rest of the year or only during Christmas rush? It amazes me how different countries handle their situations. I called Canada Post on the gift that came for me. This last year has been the only time I've had these issues. They gave me another phone number I can call as, if it is a gift no tax should be charged. I haven't called yet as I'll have to account for hold time and I don't have that right now. But Canada Post said that anything that is valued $20 or more can be charged duty and HST, no matter what so the sugestion was once more made to me that NCV be put in the value space. I've done that with sending down there as well. She says for the US it's a $35 limit but up to $600 can be claimed depending on what it is. I chuckled as she said 'she thinks'. I know a lot of you send back and forth to the States. I've been receiving from the US for years and when something is handmade in the US I get a NAFTA filled out. Wish Canada had that but alas. So yeah... I wanted to share that on a whole as I do know a lot of you send stuff back and forth and it looks like things may be changing. I figure it may be move to help get rid of gov debt. We'll have to wait and see. Gotta dash. Headed out to one day of just hubby and I. Cheap day date but we need a day to us.
