I wasn't playing with you at all, just trying to help a sista out! You should definitely take the trip!! The 445 euros price includes the tax, which is then refunded to non-EU residents.
I can't speak about Canada customs, but I didn't have to pay duty when I brought my Neverfull MM & Azur speedy back to the US, both which I had declared on the form. They pulled me aside because I declared that I brought back food (shortbread cookies from London)!

i can't believe the 445 euros includes tax! every other listed price on the international LV websites are gross prices, where tax is subsequenly added on!! you have DEFINITELY helped a sista out I LOVE YOUUUUUUUU and will be reporting back in october to let you know how my experience (rather, my colleague's experience) went.

please cross your fingers for me everyone!
