How do duties in Canada work if I am returning an item I bought outside the country?

Posted June 5th, 2010 by immigratecanada and filed in immigrate to canada

Hello all!

I bought an item online from outside of the country and had duties charged when it crossed the border (expected.)

Now, I’m returning the item to the company (didn’t work out for me), but I don’t suppose that the company itself would return me the duty fees. Is there someplace that I should go to that might get me my duty fees back?

Thanks for any help!
