Anyone successful in getting an invoice from Pitney Bowes for import taxes?

[vselectronicsnl]

Probably beating a dead horse here based on other responses I've seen.  But does anyone know how to get an invoice with a breakdown of  "import charges" from Pitney Bowes on items shipped to Canada using the GSP? As a business I am entitled to a refund of taxes I paid on items that are used in my business, but without knowing what portion of the "import charges" are taxes, if any, I can't get the refund I'm entitled to.  I import things all the time with other shippers and I always get an invoice with a breakdown of what was actual taxes paid to the government, what was brokerage fees, etc. and from this I can claim the input tax credit to get at least the tax portion of that money refunded to me from the government.

PB specifies that the service is to be used for non business purposes only and they will not give you an invoice with each specific charge.

You don't actually pay taxes and duty on a GSP shipment.  Pitney Bowes does that on your behalf and is on record as having paid those when your item is imported.

The "import charges" on a GSP-forwarded item are an estimate of the taxes and duty that would be applied to the item plus any processing fees associated with it.

You may have seen a post or two suggesting that the "import charges" can be written off as a business expense.  I'd check with your accountant to make sure that's acceptable to CRA.  I can't see why they wouldn't be, but it's good to check with a professional.
