Sorry for the newbie questions but I'm getting NO help from shops or online vendors. I'm about to order these skis: https://www.en.asnes.com/produkt/finnmark-54-bc/ (waxless version) online but the shop only has NNNBC bindings available. I assume I don't want the 'automatic' BC binding?
Would it be better to fit regular/manual BC bindings? Even the regular ones are 57.9mm wide so they would hang over the skis? Any suggestions??
Has anyone ordered from Sport Albert and shipped to Canada? Do I still need to pay the EU VAT? I've ordered several other items from Germany in the past and have never paid VAT.
Thanks!
Which NNNBC bindings fit?

Hi. Dont worry about the binding overlap. I always go for the manual type, and I ownly own the Magnum.
Duty and taxs fees varies per country. Expect to pay for pays duties and taxes for any order over 20$ received in Canada.
You should not be paying VAT however to Germany.

Thanks. Of course I expect to pay duties & taxes when it arrives in Canada but like you said I don't think I should be charged VAT in Germany.

Be careful, you might be charged at check out, if that is the case, do not pay and contact the company to come to a solution.

On the SportAlbert and VAT-
My experience is that the VAT will not be discounted until they process your payment.
If you email SA I am sure they will confirm this for you before you make the final payment click.
The NNNBC-Magnum will fit the Finnmark just fine.
If you are determined to have the narrower binding plate (the wider Magnum will certainly not offer anything over the standard Manual on a ski this narrow, other than the wider closure lever)- compare the pricing against this (don't forget to account for SA's ski+binding pkg discount):

Cross-country AND down-hill skiing in the backcountry.
Unashamed to be a "cross-country type" and love skiing down-hill.
