Hi Doug
The best way to ship to us (Canadians) is to use the USPS as the courier
services such as UPS add a brokerage fee and well as some extras. If the
product is made in the USA and is less than $50 rarely is GST, PST,
postal handling charge and duty (if any) applied. As to antique auto parts
almost never question asked, they delivered straight to ones door. This
applies not only to the US but also to the UK.
Kind regards
