Fort Erie, ON
Ok, I am not going to guess at what machine is the best as I am new to this as well.
I recently bought a Mousin Around in Depew New York. At the border if you pick it up its the standard 13% HST on the calculated Canadian Value. The calculated Canadian valve is what you paid for it in US funds converted to Canadian Dollars at the current exchange rate.
So $1000.00 US x 1.015% exchange = $1,015.00 CAN x 13% = $1146.00 total
Not sure where you are in Canada but I would have it shipped to a location close the border on the US side then go pick it up. Why? brokerage fees, you dont want to pay those.
If in Niagara I can give you an address to have them shipped to that offer very reasonable handing rates.
Good Luck
