I feel like this source is incomplete. I'll tell you how it works in Canada:
https://www.crossbordershopping.ca/d...iffs-and-taxes
There are way more categories than the four ones in your source. You should be able to classify mostly any item in the categories given which is the case with my source but not with yours.

Anyways, it seems like these limited collectibles statues are consirered as ''statuary'' and are classified in the category 5 in Canada, which means a 15% tax (canadian GST/HST /PST) and no duty, no matter where you import from.
The company that ships the item will also ask for some brokerage fees, which is basically a fee for paying the customs fees in advance for you. Canada post is a flat 10 CAD, but when it comes to UPS and FedEx...beware with that, especially if it is ground shipping.

The best is to contact customs before buying the item and ask them how much it will cost if the item get hit to customs (which is very likely to happen due to the size of that statue). Where it is coming from, what type of merchandise it is and who is shipping it will influence the final cost.

Sideshow is now listing the Edition Size at 750..

I'm very sure it was 1500 when announced. Not sure why it got slashed.
Anyone else knows if the Playstation Gear store reflects the same change?

Hopefully Gary can come in to reply..

It's limited to 750 on gear store too.

Hmm looks like they slashed the ES then..

Great for those who are ordering it, making it a bit more exclusive but at 750ES its still more than enough for everyone who wants one to own one.

Is it possible they are maybe just splitting it between the two major retailers? Sideshow Collectibles is a much more well known distributor of fine statues. I've been collecting from Sideshow for about 15 years; I only heard of the PSGear Store a few years ago I've been a PS fan since the original PS launched...Just a thought.

Hmm possible.. but it was listed as 1500 on both sites before this.

Yup PS Gear is the official store for the Sony Arts Group and the online only opened recently from what I know. Yes, definitely not as well-known to people outside the gaming community so it's great to see Sideshow distributing their stuff.

They have sold quite a few statues through their store (Bloodborne Diorama, Kratos 1/3, Journey Statue etc.. )but I think this is the first or 2nd time they are selling it via Sideshow as well.
