New:
- Shipping from Belgium is around 270 Euros.
- Wire transfer fee is around 100-150 CAD depending on the total rEvo price. Wise is probably the cheapest way to pay.
- Taxes - find out from your import broker.
I'd say prepare to pay 600-900 CAD in fees.
30% fee on a 10K Euro unit is steep. I'll DM you.New.
I have a few emails waiting for reply.
Called Canadian customs and they said they are not sure, but anywhere from 5 to 30% fees plus 13% tax.

Not suggesting anything of course, but you can get flights Canada (well ok, depending on which side you are on...)-Brussels for a few hundred, sometimes even as low as 300-400 if off season...Revo offices are about 2h+ away by train or 1h+ if driving from Brussels....And Air Canada has pretty neat carry on allowance too, without a weight limit.
Say you are coming for a weekend to enjoy the famous Belgian beers, and going back with a strange weird bag with some hoses and stuff attached
The CAN customs penalty for willful failure to declare is 50% of item's value. That's in addition to the original duty. If the OP to taking this approach, at the very least stay and dive in Europe for a week+.Don't do that. Anytime you skirt the customs, you're setting yourself up for unnecessary inquiries and a potential liability.
