Canadians purchasing from USA

[Semish]

Hello,

Any Canadians here have purchased Silver from US suppliers like Provident Metal, Apmex or others?

How was your existence or what payment method did You used?

How much charges for Shipping ?

Any free shipping to Canada? 

What was your best deal purchased from US with delivery to Canada?

Do you have to pay duty for silver?

It is better/ cheaper to purchase from Canadian dealers or better deals include shipping can be found in US?

Thank you for all the comments and info provided.

For Canada - shipping can be a pain and costly even if its US (been told by some friends in Canada). Silver gold Bull is reasonably priced -and free shipping over $500  - if you order from them make sure you take their Silver at Spot price https://silvergoldbull.ca/10-oz-silver-gold-bull-silver-bar

I've never ordered from the US dealers when I've been in Canada but I have checked prices numerous times and it has never come out cheaper per oz once shipping is added. Obviously this could come down to what you want - if you want something that is more readily available in the US than from Canadian dealers than it might work out cheaper. All you can do is compare prices and see. The big dealers all list their shipping fee so you can easily calculate order total.

One overlooked thing when buying in another currency is the conversion and what you pay for that. Some payment methods have very unfavourable exchange rates and some banks might charge you for an out of country transaction so you need to factor that in to the per oz price.

There shouldn't be any import/border related fees.

Gold coins, medals, and bullion may be brought into the U.S. 

Copies of gold coins are prohibited if not properly marked by the country of issuance. The importation of counterfeit coins is prohibited.

There is no duty on gold coins, medals or bullion but these items must be declared to a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Officer. Please note a FinCEN 105 form must be completed at the time of entry formonetary instrumentsover $10,000. This includes currency, ie. gold coins, valued over $10,000. The FINCEN definition of currency: The coin and paper money of the United States or any other country that is (1) designated as legal tender and that (2) circulates and (3) is customarily accepted as a medium of exchange in the country of issuance.

If you have doubt whether your gold/gold coin is considered a monetary instrument it is in your best interest to declare the item(s) with a CBP Officer, so you do not give a false declaration.

IF a gold item is greater than 0.995, or 0.999 for silver, then it is exempt from any Canadian sales tax. 50% of realised (net) capital gains on coins are taxed at an individual’s tax rate
