I'd like to ship my 20" slim Samsung LCD TV and Denon Receiver/CD Player component home to Canada before I leave Korea. Have any Canadians here shipped electronic goods home, and if so were there duty taxes imposed by Canada Customs? The TV was bought in Korea. Thanks. Cool

If you have been out for a FULL calendar year AND you have owned them (and used them) for more than 6 months then they are duty free (you get a $10,000 duty free returning resident allowance in ADDITION to your regular $750 duty free.
