"Will I be required to pay duty"


 


Yes, most likely.


 


The amount payable (duty/tax/brokerage fee) depends on the price you paid, the country where the camera was manufactured and the method of transportation


 


The camera sold for US$1,029 + US$90 shipping = US$ 1,119


 


For duty, you will need to check with Canada Customs on the rate for camera presumably made in Japan.


 


The HST/GST/PST depends on your province


 


The listing does not indicate if the seller is using USPS or UPS or Fed-Ex, or the actual service. the brokerage fee could vary from free to about $80, depending on carrier/service.
