I've asked and most dealers are able to ship to Canada, which is great news.

I'm concerned about duty (taxes) at the border

Is paying duty (taxes) for shipping to canada a sure thing or is it avoidable somehow?

appreciate any advice or previous experience

The shipper has to declare the item and the importer (you) have to pay duties/taxes based on that. If you want to avoid all that, you buy local. There's no other way about it.

You can have it ship to a UPS store or SGS CAN AM at Niagara Falls. Drive over to pick it and stay over for a nice weekend trip. Wear it over. Good luck.

I purchased a Datejust from a reputable dealer in Texas in April and they shipped to Vancouver BC via FedEx. The watch was $4000 USD - declared at full value and I paid $600 CAD in taxes and I guess a brokerage fee. Easy!

I’ve heard it can add up to 20% to a purchase price. Plus the conversion and foreign exchange fee.
