No, the MR packs are now all made in the Philipines, so should be dutiable.
You don't always get hit with the tax as Customs only pulls certain random packages.....at least it used to be this way, and I am quite certain it still is.
"Dy'in ain't much of a livin' boy"
"There is NO Keyser Soze"!!!!!!
"Do cow moose have white inside their ears"?!!!!!
Kifaru makes a nice pack, but do yourself a favour and check out EXO. You'll save a bit of cash and get an equal product in my opinion. Also American made so no duty. Good luck with whatever you get.
Raising an old thread - I see you're also in the Okanagan. For U.S. purchases I use "Ship It to Us" in Oroville, setting up an account is free over the phone, and you pay a flat fee of $4USD/$5CAD cash per parcel, which they hold for 90 days. Awesome little setup. Hit up the tasty Mexican food while you're down there.
deadly thanks pal, still havent ordered a pack yet so that helps.
Heck of a deal in the EE right now.
