Edit: so you can expect to pay $75 in duty and $90 in GST ($165 total). UPS will charge you a fee on top of this as well for doing the paperwork for you. Unless you call and tell them you want to do the paperwork yourself. You're not obligated to use their service.
I was in Houston a couple of weeks ago and brought back a Swiss watch. I declared it honestly and was charged GST for the amount that I was over my limit. They didn't charge me any duty at all. I was prepared to pay much more, but was glad that I didn't have to do so.
