Border charges Question

[Freakshow]

Hey there everyone.

After starting a couple of threads about Rock Band being delayed up here in Canada, I decided to play it safe and preorder the game down in the US.

So did three of my buddies.

My question is, if one of us goes down to pick them up, how badly will we get charged at the border? I know that there is no duty on video games, but will one guy bringing back four copies have to pay anything other than GST and PST?

Thanks for any info that you can provide.

you will pay the gst and pst. as for the video game there is no duty. But if the drums , guitar, mic and usb hub is made let's say china there is a 17% duty fee on top of the taxes. But if they are made in usa or mexico or Canada there is no duty. the 17% will differ from country to country of origin
