Shipping from USA to Canada (other countries) is a process...paperwork, more paperwork...list the item(s), list their individual value, weight, etc. Gift or purchase...if a purchase...there will be a duty tax for sure...and probably a broker fee. We used to ship parts to Canada all the time...paperwork was a hassle. At least for replacement parts, there was little duty if any. Also...I'd check into manufacturing supplies...may be a break there, but most larger stores won't ship out of country, too much paperwork.
