According to this site http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/mobile/est-cal-eng.html

Duty & Taxes = $297.35

$1500 US = $1689.48 CAD

$1500 will get you a 60' Samsung Smart LED TV.

Any other tv than a plasma and maybe I'd take a floor model but plasma tvs have burn in to worry about.

Not that I'm opposed to a weekend on the Oregon coast but how much duty is there on a 1500$ tv?

Sorry just read above post. Wow LED's have dropped. Screw the plasma get an led.

That includes gst and pst, which make up over $200 of that. You would pay the gst and pst if you bought the tv in bc so the duty is not much.
