The UPS options used by Adorama, and likely by B&H, have brokerage included for up to 5 items. All you'll pay during delivery is Canadian taxes. When I ordered my T1i, I got the kit + 85mm + 50mm + extra battery + memcard + memcard reader + soft case for 85mm (ie: more than 5 items) and wasn't charged any additional fee, but that may have been luck.


If you want to verify B&H's UPS option is free of custom fees, check this page:
