does seattle in the US have taxes on top of their prices as well because don't some states have no tax or lower tax than others?

I've never been to america so no idea!!

Seattle- Bellevue where the boutique is has a 9.5% tax rate. Generally the tax is on top of the price.
Different states and cities have different tax rates.

Canada puts a 10% duty on imported goods depending on country of origin.

So if you bought two scarves today, in Vancouver it would be $470 Cdn and in Seattle it would be $418 Cdn (since the Cdn $ is slightly higher right now) all in with respective taxes. Save $52 for an extra 4-hour drive, gas, waiting in the line at the border...hmmm, not as great a savings as I thought....

You'd pay the taxes anyway when you declare your purchases at the border. ;)

Yes, I do amuse myself!

Hey guys,

I'm new here, I just wanted to ask what is the MSRP for a 32 mm Belt kit in Toronto? Non-exotic leather with the very basic H buckle?

and also, I've been told that it is very hard to buy one of the right size and color in stores... is this true?

Help please, <3s to all

Ohhh cant wait to see it!!!! I agree. I only look at exotic CDCs (lizard or croc/gator as I think regular leather looks less spectacular for the little price difference)!!!! Congrats on your purchase! TO is my home store too and I love it!
