Not sure what these duties some say are charged. I have never been charged duty on a single photo item in the last ten years. Brokerage fees have been minimal or zero when receiving gear sent by USPS/Canada Post.
Free shipping is offered, but you still need to pay brokerage, duty if applicable and taxes if you choose to have B&H to arrange for brokerage.
items not manufactured in the USA get charged duty. My last order, duty was charged for the battery, filters and memory cards i purchased since none were manufactured in the USA/Canada. When you choose for B&H to arrange for brokerage (via Purolator), taxes and duty is collected at time of sale.
for small orders and have items shipped via USA/Canada post, for smaller dollar amounts, occasionally, Canada post doesn't bother to charge their handling fee, or taxes. I've been annoyed at times, when taxes (GST) are only around $6, but the Canada Post handling fee is higher.
