This misses the point. If the retailer knows what they are doing you
will not have to pay the taxes in the first place--there is nothing to
refund. The idea is to take delivery at the border, in which case you do
not pay GST or PST. This is "standard operating procedure" for competent
retailers who sell lots of boats to U.S. customers (unless things have
changed very recently).
