Need advice from Canadian members!

[613Kid 0]

Hi fellow Canucks. I just found this forum the other day as I have been on the hunt for a replica Bell & Ross. Anyways I am about to place an order with either Lawrence from House of Souvenirs or Mary at WatchInternational.

 

I noticed in one thread that Mary shipped a watch to a customer wrapped and hidden inside a toy car. Is this common practice?

 

Could the watch be confiscated at the border?

 

Will I have to bay duty on the watch? Is duty based on the price listed on the shipment or is it based on retail for the authentic.

 

Basically just want to hear from some fellow Canadians that have successfully ordered watches and how the process went in regards to shipping, import, and duty.

 

Thanks!
