Boy you guys are lucky, in Canada we get hosed on taxes and duties. When
importing auto parts, we pay a duty of 8%, plus a federal sales tax of 6%
and provincial sales tax of 7%, this is of course on the Canadian dollar
value.

The only time the duty does not apply if the part is made in Mexico, USA or
Canada or if its used.

So for a new part made in Germany, say $100 US, we pay about $40 in taxes
and duties.
