Dive Rite regulators and Canada Customs

[nielsent]

I have recently been looking into dive rite regulators and was considering purchasing one as a deco/O2 regulator. I have also noticed that they are considerably cheaper stateside. I was curious if there are any Canadians that import these regs from the US and if they have to pay any customs charges on the regulators when they are brought in?

Thanks in advance all.

Wouldnt have to pay customs if the reg was in a bag full of wet dive gear.

As I understand it, you would pay 5% tax if it is for personal use.

You could possibly avoid paying customs charges, but you would still owe them.
