In Canada it's actually Capitol-EMI.  The only Kanadian KaTe disc that I have
is TSW, and it has both the Capitol and EMI trademarks on it.  The other
KaTe CDs that I purchased in Canada (before the box set) are as follows:
TKS, LH, TD - UK pressing; NFE - W.German pressing; HOL - Japanese pressing.
Except for TD, I paid regular prices for the rest of them.  The rule being:
if the record company brings the foreign CDs in, instead of pressing them 
locally, it's a "Special Import" and has negligible markup.  But if a 
record store brings them in, then it's a "true" import and cost about 1/3 more.
(For some reason Capitol-EMI never brought in TD, so I paid "import price".)

Owing to the fact that Canada never made any KaTe CDs locally until TSW,
I'd think it highly unlikely that there would be a box set pressed here.
Thus the so-called "Canadian" box sets would be "special imports".
