The Panasonic TH50PX75U is $1499 on that Vanns site in Montana which works out to be a whole $1520 Canadian. Up here they're still charging around $2200 for it... if the duty wasn't so bad I'd take the time and drive down there to pick one up.

Heck I'd even gas up down there as gas is the equivalent of .75 cents a litre.
A cutomer of mine actually called down to a friend at the border when I asked him the same question. They said that it really depends on if the TV was manufactured in the states. If it is you will only have to pay the GST at the border. If it isn't you pay GST PLUS a 5% duty. Still much cheaper to purchase in the states
