If I purchase a hearing aid in the U.S. , is this taxable at the border? For personal use of course, not for resale.I ask because they seem to tax everything except basic groceries.This is not my case, but as an extreme example, could they tax something you had surgically implanted?

Since I am returning it back to the shipper for refund, I need to contact CBSA for asking the refund of the duty and tax. However, I need 14 digits CBSA receipt number to file the form. The only 14-digit number I can find on UPS invoice is a transaction number. ...

... looking to self-clear/self-account a package because I made a mistake shipping a $26 package via USPS/Canada Post and noticed how effing corrupt CBSA is.

As the title says, the border apparently seized something under my name. The problem is, I've not ordered anything within 1-2 months unless it was from Amazon (They have their own in-country delivery). The paper that I received today doesn't tell me what was seized. It just shows an inventory number...

... confirmed this to me. Online invoice of my product says I paid taxes too when I check it. When the package hit the border, UPS gave the package to CBSA, and assessed it. Obviously I got hit with UPS Brokerage. The UPS Brokerage charges for my product are approximately: $80.68 Brokerage+Tax, and ...

For anyone who uses a Visa Debit card as their main card and doesn't have a credit card, this is a warning that Canada Post will not accept Visa Debit for duties/taxes payment, at least at the door.
