Howdy, long time lurker, first time poster.

I have an amp being built by Cierra Tone as we speak (2203 copy) just curious what any one else whom might of order from them had to to pay when they finally had the amp delivered to them, I am fully expecting, GST PST and brokerage fees from DHL , but just curious as to wether or not duty will be added as well as everything else. having not ordered anything from Malaysia before myself, I have no idea.

CeriaTone has had a lot of discussion other forums. Mostly very positive.

Here are some reviews on Harmony Central. You might find a review posted from a fellow Canuck here:

Thanks Robert, HC was my first choice, (and admitiedly, where I spend most of my time) but not much help in the way of my question. But that's cool, I like suprises

I can't say for sure, but I'd have to guess that you can count on duty importing an item from Malaysia. I don't think we have any kind of free trade agreement with them. As for what the % is, who knows. It's different from everywhere.

scroll down to page 35, section 85.18.50.00 00

Malaysia is covered by the General Preferential Tariff. For electric sound amplifier sets, that's a 3% tariff.

Hope this helps.

WOW! everything you ever wanted to know, thanks for the hook up on the info!

I don't know what DHL's brokerage fees are, but I'd be more concerned about that. If they are anything like UPS, the fees could be more then the PST, GST and duty combined.

Ugh UPS, that's a whole 'nother horror show all by it's self.
