I cross at that border crossing a couple of times each year. The duties can be eliminated by length of stay. If you enter and stay for 2 days, you can bring $400 in duty free. If you stay 5 or 7 days, you can bring in $750. Grizzly is about 20 miles south of the Peace Arch crossing. They are about 1 mile east of I-5. Very easy to find. Check with Customs Canada first. Washington State has about .09 Sales Tax. You should be able to get around this with proper identification- you'll need it at the border. -Derek

The exchange has shifted dramatically. Today, the rate is 90 cents US to buy a Loonie and $1.10 CDN to buy a Greenback. It is almost even. -Derek

Bob, you are talking roughly $1000 CDN. I think you were right in mentioning Grizzly. Even though they don't ship to Canada, perhaps they can put an item FOB Bellingham to any carrier that you want. I drove up there and picked up my bandsaw and had it is about 5 minutes. The place is huge. They claim to have their entire catalog in stock. -Derek

If your team played my Seattle Thunderbirds, you'de have it made. Grizzly has a place in Muncie Pennsylvania. That might be close. -Derek
