The taxes that the customs collect is one of the reasons why I am hesitant to buy watches overseas...

For Albertans, duty is 5% on the sale price of the watch, and tax is 5% on the total (watch + 5% duty).

So a $4,000 CAD watch will be $200 in duty and $210 in taxes. For the right deal, it's still likely to be cheaper than buying domestically.
