Here is the legal way to avoid brokerage fee when importing goods from USA into Canada with courier companies like UPS, or FedEx, without driving hundreds of miles to the port of entry. CBSA officially replied that UPS forces customers to pay outrageous customs brokerage fees illegally.
If you are considering Nissan Infiniti of Willowdale service center or dealership as a place to repair/service your vehicle, or buy a new car, or especially used car – do NOT go there! After investigating and research it appears that Infiniti of Willowdale is really fraudulent place. Details and proofs are provided after the list of complains later in this post.
I would like to report here an obvious fraud with proofs from Willowdale Nissan Infiniti Dealership Service Center which happened this spring to me.
Be aware of this dealership! Don’t go to it!
If a person purchases a designated item at a retail establishment or through the Internet, the retailer would automatically provide the purchaser with the point-of-sale rebate, crediting the 7% B.C. component of the HST and only collecting the 5% federal component of the HST on that item.
Here is the complete list of all goods and services which prices have been increased due to the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) introduction in British Columbia. Before all the products from this list were not subject to 7% PST (or 5% GST for some of them).
Price increase for some of the products and services is ridiculous, as they are the part of healthy living. They just fall in the same list with cigarettes!
This information will help consumers and retailers understand what goods will be eligible for the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) point-of-sale rebate.
Consumers will not be required to pay the Ontario component of the HST (8 per cent) on goods that qualify for the point-of-sale rebates.

I have received regular Rogers bill for internet services in the beginning of July expecting increase of 8% for it. I thought GST and PST lines in the bill will be just substituted with HST line.
But to my surprise the Rogers internet bill contains all three taxes: HST, GST, and PST!
It happened on the parking lot of grocery supermarket. One tall man of about 40 years old appeared from nowhere and asked for help starting with the phrase:”Can you help me please? I’m not a beggar!”. Then he continued:
– My car got stuck out of fuel on the road.
– I left my wife and children there.
– I need some gas to put in the car.
