    Are there any Canadians who now have their Spark and did you have to pay Duty? Please don’t reply if you haven’t received your Spark yet.

        Apologies for not following your clearly stated request however I do have experience from ordering from Thommann in Germany. From time to time I have been fortunate that Canadian Customs and Duties has not charged Duty on my orders. So a great deal even becomes a better deal. It’s the same when crossing the border coming back to Canada and you are over the permitted exemption. Sometimes Duty is charged, sometime it isn’t. .....Are you feeling lucky??

          I live in TGWN and my experience has been that if a foreign supplier ships by a commercial carrier (e.g. Fed Ex or UPS) then brokerage fees are charged to the recipient at the point of entry. If the carrier is a postal service (USPS for example) then the shipment is handled by Canada Post and they pick up the tab.

              @donald-aseyler This is good to know. It makes me think that PG's offer of free worldwide shipping means that they are absorbing any duties normally incurred.

                  So PG must collect Canadian HST at time of sale. Otherwise collection of the HST (Duty) is collected at the discretion by Canadian Customs. Some people will be charged, others won’t be.

                    I'm from Vancouver and I just received it yesterday. Need to pay 40+ CAD for Fed Ex. Ordered last March 1. So far so good except for the waiting part.

                        I did not have to pay. Shipping costs. I did however pay the duties cost conversion when I first purchased the spark amp.

                                  Ordered mine on May 14th, received today, July 20th. Near record time! Based on earlier reports I figured it would arrive in time for Christmas. Well, it's the proverbial Christmas in July. Just plugged it in, and after just a few minutes got it up and running enough to know I'm going to love it. Plus, any taxes or duties were paid by the shipper.

                                          I ordered my Spark on June 16th and received it yesterday ! I was shocked how quickly I got it given the horror stories out there. I live in Ontario Canada and NO I did not have to pay duties.

                                          Hope this helps :)
