I have gotten some great deals from CR in the past that slipped past duties and was free shipping though. Just not sure on a bike as it was for more shipable items.
Jenson collects tax and files all required duty paperwork for you as part of the shipping charges, so you will not end up paying anything past checkout:

I ordered a bike from them earlier this year (I posted about it farther back in this thread, pg.17) and was really happy with the service. My bike arrived quickly, no hidden charges and took me about an hour to unpack and setup to set up.
