Yes, you'd think so but I saw that "Import charges:US $3.34 (estimated and based on current bid) " to Canada. This was more than the current bid of $3.04. This is impossible - it is supposed to be a percentage of the value.
Since that time, however, I watched the bidding go up bit by bit, and the import charges stayed the same 'til the end (sold at $15 something).*Import charges are not based on where you are from. It is supposed to be the same for all of Canada.
Of course shipping charges change with location. Please read the question. I'm going to to do some hard googling to see if there is a duty and taxes chart published for various items.I am more sure now that import charges in the global shipping program are not based on the current bid as eBay says, but on some sort of inherent value for particular items. For eg., duty is dear on shoes because Canada wants to protect its French shoemaking industry.
