the US and importing to Canada.

So why didn't I have to pay anything? I even have a piece of paper signed by the customs
official that says duty free.

I bought my boat in BC, Canada 3 years ago. There was *no* duty to be paid
if the boat was built in the USA or in Canada. There were also no Canadian
taxes to be paid, but the broker told me that in order to avoid the Canadian
taxes, they had to deliver the boat to me in the U.S. and I had to take
possession here. The sale and transfer was all simple with no
complications. A delivery captain brought the boat down from Vancouver to
Blain for a minimal charge, customs brought their sniffer dogs on board and
I took possession in a bout 30 min.

It's a wash when you trade it for the VAT.

Duties will be levied for a canadian made (or any other country of origin).
You won't have to pay duties on a used US boat because it's US origin.
Brokers can handle it all.

If it's a Canadian built vessel coming from the USA... Canadian Customs
advised my friend that duties may be imposed.

Wrong. Recreational yachts built in Canada, Mexico, and a variety of other countries are duty free.
But please, consult with Customs on this.

I was told that the Beneteau's tend to be packed with doody and the owners full
of it.

Okay, Donal...Grow up!

I'll make sure to make that available to Canadian Customs.... which says
duties may be imposed.

Free Trade sucks so much backwash! I hate it! It only makes any sense when
both signators have a reasonably close GDP.

That would be something like California and Britain.

Does Canada have a GDP? :-)
