If you're importing commercially for a business then you only pay gst and any duty. Personal you pay gst/hst duty and pst depending on province of residence. Loose diamonds are duty free just gst/hst and any applicable pst. Rough diamonds require a kimberly certificate. Jewellery depends on where it was made and if their semi-manufactured, findings, or finished pieces. Duty can be 0 to 8.5%. Plus sales tax. Need more details. Personal or commercial?
