The 'duty' is actually the 7% GST.
Used or new makes no difference - value does.
If you could get them mailed Canada Post brokerage fee is $5.(plus the GST)
Couriers charge a bunch because of the extra handling involved in clearing customs and collecting the tax FOR CCRA.

PSO only ships UPS.

But ya, poker chips are duty free (as in no additional tax beyond GST) regardless of where they're made, so you're only subject to the 7% GST.

Scroll down to the post by dad604 for details on clearing customs yourself. He's even got the tariff # for the chips and cards.
