Is that the best solution you can come up with?...

Sorry, didn't realize it would be offensive. My point was, that as long as the US and Canada are separate countries, and as long as Canada is a relatively small market, low volume US-made goods, such as pool products, will tend to be significantly more expensive there, then here.

It is possible to ship to Canada and ignore all that stuff, either ignorantly or because you hope you won't get caught. I know, because I did it some, before I understood some of the issues. But the whole problem of different regulations and different certifications creates an almost insurmountable problem with respect to chemicals and electrical devices.
