little shipping calculators online cannot calculate duty as it is assessed at the border by Canada Customs. Small parts often se no duty or even GST simply because they slip through with a low declared value. As duty & GST are what is known as "your problem" they are not properly accounted for by the other end. Operator is right, via ups the brokerage alone is between $35-$50, duty would run 80ish and GST would be added using the declared value before shipping costs at the border.
