[s-cars] Looking to order rear calipers at reasonable cost

Dave:

I do the exact same thing, the US border is about 15 min from my house and I 
use the Nexus pass (fast pass) that allows me to drive through a special lane 
with no or little lineup and I make the declarations with a form that is 
handed over to the border agent, and my cc is automatically charged - no need 
to go inside unless they put me through secondary inspection.

My question is how do you get away with zero duty? Most of the parts are made 
outside of USA and are not part of NFTA. I usually pay around 8% duty plus GST 
plus PST.

BTW, where did you order the calipers from and were they reman or new? I 
bought some remans recently for my 90q20v from SJM for $110 ea plus core.

Cheers,
