I'm visiting Japan right now (I'm a Canadian resident) and am considering picking up a digital camera (second-hand, if that matters). The value of the camera would exceed the 800-dollar personal allowance that I see on the Canadian border website. I would also be using my foreign passport here to get a tax-free price.
Given this, what would I be paying at the border when I arrive at Canadian customs? Is there a duty? Or am I just paying provincial and HST taxes? Do those differ if I'm landing in BC, or since my final destination is in Alberta with lower taxes do those apply instead?
