Hugh, you are very fortunate. I pay tax on everything purchased and stuff from outside of Canada, I also pay for brokerage fees except for the few occasions when Canada Post turns a blind eye.

So I guess I've been unusually lucky so far to date not having to pay for sales tax and duties like a lot of you guys get hit with from other countries. I need to just shut up and count my blessings!
Florida says this: What we call sales taxes are really sales and use taxes, and the “use” part obligates a purchaser to remit tax to their state on any taxable sale on which they were not charged sales tax. Technically, if you shop online and the seller doesn’t charge sales tax (but the item is taxable in your state), you must remit use tax. That compliance is low does not mean the tax doesn’t exist.
