The first thing is that the parts were probably bought on inventory before
the dollar changed. The second thing is that importing the parts from the US
to Canada when being a retailer or distributor, involves courier services,
brokerage, and custom's charges.
For example, a box shipped by a major courier, weighing about 10 lbs 12" X
10" X 12" shipped from New York to Toronto can cost about $60 using economy
service. The brokerage will charge about $42 minimum and an average of +0.5%
plus the base brokerage charge after a value of $1000. All items coming in
to Canada have a charge of 6% tax as soon as they are registered at customs.
If the items have classification for duty, there is an additional charge
according to the duty rate for the item.
If the item is an electrical or electronic spare part manufactured in the
US, there is normaly no duty charges before the 6% tax. If the spare part
was manufactured outside of the US coming in to Canada, it can be taxed as
high as 30% + depending on its classification. For most electrical and
electronic parts manufactured outside of the US, the added tax is about 14%.
I can see a flyback or most any part coming in to Canada being about double
the price of that in the US if a dealer imports it for you. If the part was
manufactured outside of the US, it will be fairly expensive. If you bring it
in yourself, you may be able to have it a little cheaper if you can get it
for the dealer's cost. If you pay the retail price, it will probably work
out to the same amount or a little more in the end.

The Canadian Dollar is close to on par with the US dollar, so why
aren't electronics parts closer in price? I know the suppliers don't
track everyday prices with the dollar, but if I order a 239111 flyback
at Vance baldwin in the USA, it lists at $ 59.99 USD, & it's $ 92.78
Can at Global? A red CRT for an ITC222 52" RCA rear projection, is
almost the exact price USD at Vance, that it is at Global Canadian.
Explain? Dani.
