Bonneville centre stand is $310 up here and $240 in the US. If I order it will I get nailed with customs duty?
Anyone know?

If you get it shipped UPS they will scr&w you on brokerage. Have it shipped USPS if you can--then you will at most be charged gst (in my experience).

I second that UPS will screw ya. I have seen that bike parts are supposed to be exempt, but just try to get it back! You have to pay it to get your stuff, then file a claim. Good luck!.
I now specify US Postal service. Takes a few days longer but it is way less. I do get charged tax and once It had a small duty charge.
If I specify USPS and it comes to my door UPS or Fedex I just refuse it rather than pay the driver.
I had some stuff come and I paid duty on it, it was wrong and I returned it. When the replacement goods arrived UPS they were clearly marked "Replacement goods all charges paid" by the shipper and UPS still wanted $45.00. I didn't have to pay it but I did have to go to thier office to pick up and explain.
