Duty On cigarettes ordered online?

[ingel]

If i order cigarettes online (only 2 cartons) will i be expeted to pay duty? And how much is duty roughly on each carton? I googled it and this is all that i found:


he importation of tobacco products must meet the requirements of the following:

Stamping and Marking of Tobacco Products Regulations (visit http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/showtdm/cr/SOR-2003-288 for more information)
Tobacco Act (visit http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/T-11.5/ for more information).
NOTE:
Labelling and stamping requirements of the Tobacco Regulations do not apply when an individual imports five or less units of packaged tobacco. A unit is defined as: 200 cigarettes; 50 cigars; 200 tobacco sticks; or 200 g of manufactured tobacco.
Tobacco importations are not eligible for the $20CDN duty and tax exemption or as gifts. The CBSA will assess duties and taxes on tobacco products.

So from what i understand if im ordering less then 5 cartons i dont need to pay additional fees? someone with experience ordering cigarettes please help

People who chirp others for smoking... do you have nothing better to do then to search yahoo daily for cigarette questions so you can try to convince us to quit? if i quit it wont be because some random guy online told me to

No this means you can order 5 cartons without having to be subject to the strict labeling rules. This has nothing to do with duties or excise tax.

Tobacco imports are regulated on a Provincial basis.

For instance, the Ontario regulations are here:

The tobacco tax in Ontario is about $25 per carton. In Manitoba, it is $45 per carton.

In addition, the Federal Excise Tax rate is $17 per carton:

You will also be charged HST/GST and PST on your import, on the amount AFTER the above taxes and shipping costs.
