Can we (in the U.S) have a catalog or internet sale in Canada??
 
I don't think so...but I am sure someone here knows for sure...
 
Nope. You can only sell in the US. The Canadian catalog is different and so are the prices. If you want to have everything shipped to your house and then ship it to Canada, you could do that...however I'm not sure how HO would see that.
