Canadian & US taxes

From my experience 8 months ago in BC:

Canadian side
gst = 6%
duty = 6.1%
provincial sales tax in Ontario = 8%
possible luxury tax in Ontario = ?%

US side
at least in Minnesota & Texas but I think generally, if you have it shipped out of state then you avoid state sales tax. If you drive it away from the dealer you would have to pay state tax. Although this may be rebateable (or debateable).

I wonder if there is some way to get a rebate from the US, since duty was paid there already?
