Are there taxes and duties for shipping to Canada?
Last Updated: 11/08/2013
All Canadian orders are subject to brokerage fees, duties, and/ or taxes once your order reaches Canada. Unfortunately, we are unable to quote the amount of applicable fees and taxes. UPS determines this charge. Collectively, these fees can be as much as the merchandise itself. You will need to pay an additional $10 brokerage fee plus any taxes to UPS before delivery.

Canada Customs requires Canadian recipients to pay applicable duties and taxes on each shipment entering Canada. These charges may include PST, GST, HST, duties and other taxes of goods (e.g. excise tax). A brokerage fee is also charged to process shipments and present the requisite customs paperwork to Canada Customs on the importer’s behalf.

Your order will be shipped under UPS’s e-Tailer Brokerage Program (eBP), where eligible shipments imported into Canada for non-commercial purposes and valued under CAD $200 shipped via UPS Standard service are subject to a reduced brokerage fee of CAD $10, plus any applicable duties and taxes. Shipments valued at CAD $200 and above and/or being imported to Canada for commercial purposes and/or subject to specialized clearance may incur additional fees.

Please, be aware that UPS will request payment of these charges at the time of delivery. You have the ability to call UPS ahead of time (1-800-742-5877) to pay these charges, eliminating the need for payment on delivery
