As mentioned, there is no duty (NAFTA), but you will be charged GST and any brokerage fees (this is from the shipping company, UPS, if it does cross the border)
And if it does cross the border, it depends on which method UPS you used. If you chose UPS ground, you will most likely get hit with the $50+ brokerage.
Any of the more expensive methods through UPS include brokerage in the price. So most of the time, if you HAVE to ship UPS, its cheaper in the end to get express shipping.

USPS (Not UPS) is the cheapest option in terms of brokerage costs. UPS Ground in the WORST.
