It's not tax, it's a brokerage fee. American's pay the same thing buying from Canada or any other country. You can do your own brokering and not pay the fee. Cheaper parts. :) There is zero duty on electronics and very little duty on any good at all. If your in ontario the most you'll ever pay is 15% for gst and pst.
