when you bring the coins back into Canada you will attract hst at ccr crossing, better off if you had a box in Alberta.

What if you shipped them back to yourself from the states as a gift.

Or ship the box and COA to Canada and put the coin to my wallet, say it's my lucky money.

Profits at the mint are given to the government.
Hence profits == tax.
This represents a staggering price to BV bargain compared to either mint offerings.

Pay the taxes! It is the price we all pay to enjoy this wonderful country! That said I do like the idea of an Alberta address until we get rid of the H S T in BC on July 1 2013.

 The thrust of the thread is tax evasion - an illegal activity. I'm all for tax avoidance but there is a very distinct and important difference between evasion and avoidance. |

Isn't this simply "currency"? It was even once in circulation. When you come across a CBSA officer, you should be able to simply declare you bringing back money at the face value of the coin and should be able to legally avoid taxes. I don't know if this will work as I've never bothered to do so or have ever gotten anything shipped across the border....

umm word of advice ............do not try it. The CBA knows how to read Charlton and how to find coin values on the web Ie ebay. As I said earlier show the invoice pay the taxes. Sleep easy and still own your coins. My daughter works for them and has even been known to call a friend for values on all sorts of stuff. Honesty is the best policy! |

I do live in the US and I don't think that Canadian members realize that the RCM posts coins to US citizens via FEDEX and I do believe that they will not deliver coins or anything for that matter to a USPS postal box. I do purchase coins from the RCM and I recall that every shipment without fail was handled by FedEx. Unless my memory has failed me in any fashion. |

Further, as mentioned here you still need someway to get the coins back into Canada. Unless you drive across the border and declase nothing on the return you may get around your customs, but my mail a custom declaration I believe is needed by your government.

If we use the example of the 1914 $5 Canada Gold coin, sold for $500 by the Mint, and it is shipped to the US, is there not any duties charged by US Customs for the order from Canada? We all talk about saving taxes, etc., but isn't this lost or offset by duty?

There is no duty going into the US from Canada per the Harmonized Tariff Schedule(HTS).
