depends when you order. if the government have anything to do with it, after the effective date, you may have to pay the HST (13%), plus the sales tax to wherever you buy the kit from. right now, it's GST plus the sales tax of wherever you buy it from. I've been lucky so far and haven't even paid GST. see if the shipper will send it as a "gift". LOL. there is no duty on hobby products, so says the government web site and you can apply to get sales tax back that's been paid in other countries.
