Better pay up of they will seize your boat . Don't mess with customs . The taxes are not NAFTA related they are the combined GST and PST not duty. Consider it your part for paying for the Coastguard , navigation and other public facilities you use while living in Canada . If I brought my Boat into Washington I would have to pay to register it and pay state taxes as well . I currently pay for a yearly cruising permit to go into US waters and have no issue with this as I am using the facilities provided by Washington taxpayers. There is currently no fee for US boats using the facilities in Canada.
