I'm interested in buying two articles of clothing here on eBay for the first time, one from China and the other from the U.K. I live in Canada and both items are over $30. I'd be paying for shipping on both items, but what I'm not sure about is whether I'll have to pay any type of fee, tax or duty? And if so how would I go about figuring out exactly how much?
For a very rough idea:

Plus a processing/handling mail fee: Canada Post adds $9.95 on top.
Basic shipped-by-mail exemption is $20cdn.
Under that amount no charges for duty/taxes and no handling fee.
Used clothing is exempt for duty, but is not exempt for sales tax.
...
Does the UK seller use the GSP (Global Shipping Program)?
If they do, you'll be charged import fees at the time of your purchase, and will have nothing extra to pay when it arrives.
