This company does not charge large hazmat fees for even things like sulfuric acid or acetic anhydride or the nitric acid you want to my knowledge (I
have ordered *many* potentially dangerous chemicals from them, so I assume HNO3 would be no different);
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nitric-Acid-69-1-Litre-1L-/1405739...
They also do 500ml, 2.5ltr and 5ltr quantities, have a look at their shop.

So why buy 205 litres for such a fee and have to resell loads of it when you could get just what *you* need?

i can go directly in person to buy the nitric acid they sell 205 liter
but i need only 50 liter
so the the rest i can sell it
but if someone is gonna buy it i think he would need to receive it by shippement
the only haz mat fee i can have is when i ship that
i was thinking to transfert the acid in 12
5 gallon glass carboy

Ah, I see. Your original post was confusing. Although I would reccomend this eBayer for such chems, though.

Have you checked for any other local dealers? Im not sure exactly where you live, but usually in a largeish town/city you can find a lab supply
store.

Yes, that is a huge amount, and depending on the concentration, you usually do not need overly large amounts of nitric acid for many reaction. Im not
sure if they ship to Canada, but I buy most of my chemicals from elemental scientific. They charge $25 hazmat for nitric acid, but if you buy a
couple gallons of it the fee balances its self out (It would be a waste to buy 500ml of it for a few dollars, then have to pay almost 30 dollars for
shipping)

"Ready Reagents" supplied me 35% H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> but expecting them to 'readily' supply HNO<sub>3</sub>
in quantity is an altogether different matter . . .?

That eBay seller is UK-based and usually such sellers only ship to EU countries and certainly not to the USA and Canada. Inside the EU there is a
reasonably free traffic of chemicals, but exporting and importing things is a different matter.
Besides this, the mentioned eBay seller also charges high shipping fees to mainland EU for the nitric acid and sulphuric acid. He charges well over
GBP 30 shipping fee for the nitric acid, while for a similar weight of his other chemicals he only charges GBP 8 or so. This difference most likely is
due to hazmat fees and/or much better and more careful packaging.

Nitric acid is not something you buy from another country. Find a supplier close to you.
I would understand it it was depleted uranium compounds or something extremely rare, but nitric acid? People who work in the art restoration use it on
a daily basis! It's a common, mass produced chemical.
Don't waste your money on international hazmat fees because it looks like a real life embodiement of a Rube Goldberg machine.
