Anyway because I collect the premium statues whenever I can get or afford them, I did buy the legendary edition and was pleased I avoided the insane premiums that Ebay people are trying to charge. Although my price was $799, I noticed there was a 10% tax imposed on the legendary edition that was not imposed on the Dawn Edition I had ordered just a few days before from the same site with the same purchase and delivery information. I am not sure why the Legendary Edition is subject to this "VAT or Value added Tax" and not the Dawn edition (is it a price threshold on imports that triggers it?) I do have sales tax in my State for local purchases but again why would UBI charge it for one and not the other? I doubt they would collect my local sales tax all the way from Montreal.
Did anyone else have the 10% tax put on their legendary order (or any other edition?)
Thanks JC

Yeah, that's weird. Customs/duty fees are usually collected at the door from the customer during delivery. Maybe Ubi is just charging it in advance so you won't have to pay it afterwards.
I've bought some steelbooks from Amazon.Uk and Amazon.de recently, and do have to pay an import fee deposit that is added to the order total. So maybe this is similar.
Either way, at least you're only paying 10% lol. We have to pay 13% on any purchase from the ubisoft store, big or small.
