some whatever reason, shipments from jenson do not attract duty, but the process can take as long as two weeks.
I try and support local LBS - and limit my bike interent shopping to two times per year for stuff that is on sale, or a cheap dropper post from overseas.

Duty depends on the shipping method used. The paid duty option is likely UPS or Fedex's premium duty inclusive global express method.
The next option for delivery by Canada post is much, much more unlikely to attract any duties/taxes unless opened/inspected by customs.
The last couple options are all standard cheaper UPS/FEDEX. You can almost always expect duties if you ship cross border using a courier service rather than the postal service because of private customs brokerages.
