I don't know about for your province, but for BC Canada Custom's duties and taxes estimator gives and estimate of $65.47 for $330 (12% sales taxes plus 7% duty calculated on the after tax amount).

However, some couriers will charge a custom brokerage fee to bring your stuff into Canada. UPS is particularly notorious for this because of how high their rates are (ie. $19.45 on a $50 item).
This fee:
a) Will usually not be included in the shipping quote given when you order.
b) May be lumped together with the actual duties and takes on the bill they give you cash on delivery.
