business. You will need to open up a company. There are no differnece in duty & GST between private and commercial. The differnce is if you are a private. You will need to pay PST also and the GST that you paid. You cannot claim it back thru input tax credit. And if customs thinks the goods you bring in are for commercial purpose (for sale). They can refuse to clear until you get a company set up. That is to cure the underground economy. The things you mentioned does not required special permits or requirements. However, If the goods are packed in a wooden box or packed in straws. Fumigation is needed. Make sure the fumigation cerificate bears a IPPC stamp and that each and every box that were fimigated are stamped with the number that is identical to the certificate or the shipment will be turn back. NO EXCEPTIONS. For specific duty on the items. You can call or e-mail me for their duty rate. Hope this help you. Good Luck.
