Sometimes they charge GST and duty, sometimes not. I've been charged duty and GST on a used bow that I've TRADED straight across for. No money exchange at all. I even bought the bow here in Canada and paid GST on it originally. I tried to get the refund, sending a copy of the original receipt, my receipt proving I sent a bow in exchange for the one I got. They wouldn't hear none of it. Doesn't make sense to me.
