taxed for it's posted value?

TIA

me pay the full 13% tax?

to relcaim back the tax if indeed it is warranty. I just generally declare a super low value (ideally under $20) to avoid the taxes.

shock last year but since I wanted no downtime, I paid first and sent back the leaking one later. I had them put that in very careful detail on the invoice including the words "warranty replacement" but still I had to pay at the border.

The customs dude gave me a form to get PST and GST back. It was super fast and all I did was inlcude the same info. Stupid extra effort but I got it back in the end.

in case it gets damaged or lost in transit.

then by all means state the full value of the item. But if they will tax you, even if it's a warranty replacement, then it might be worth it to run the risk of damage or loss and not declare fully.
