That second one is a death trap if you ever ride an escalator. Plus, the leather would surely look like **** after the first wear.

Are we in the US getting charged duties on Canadian stuff or is it just DHL? I ordered two things from Canada, both over $800, shipped to the US. One shipped UPS the other DHL. DHL charged me a $128 duty on the item they shipped, UPS did not. I know that technically theres a duty over 800, but I've literally never experienced this before buying from Canada. May have to rethink some things I've been considering.

That’s probably the retailer and/or dhl f-ing up the paperwork. If the retailer doesn’t fill out the forms correctly you can get dinged. I’ve gotten a dhl shipment corrected but it was a pita. Also had a FedEx shipment the retailer corrected.

If the shipment was over $800 then yes it is subject to import duties

Oh, important distinction, is your stuff actually made in Canada? If it’s not made in Canada the $800 limit applies.
