Yep, that is correct.
Canada Customs would usually charge GST/PST, about 11%
That is what I had to pay at a land border to US.
The brokerage fee which I had to pay to UPS for shipping from US by land can be as much as 50%. I guess it combined Customs fee (GST/PST) with UPS' own additional charge. So I really want to avoid that nonsense. GST/PST is the fact of life here like VAT in Europe, so fine.

I just want to ensure that FedEx Air won't go beyond GST/PST. That would be good enough for me.
