Duties, Taxes and Tariffs 

In most cases, Canadian buyers are responsible for duties, taxes and tariffs that are imposed on imported goods.  The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) does not include any extra fees to deliver packages to Canadian destinations.  If the shipment is through UPS, you will have to pay Duties and Broker fees.  Please do not ship your order to Canada using United Parcel Service!  AKA.

Duties and Taxes 

Goods and Services Tax: 

There are 3 kinds of duties and taxes for items being imported into Canada: 

  1. Goods and Services Tax (GST): This is a 5% federal tax that applies to items being sold to Canadian customers for domestic consumption.
  2. Harmonized Tax (HST): A handful of Canadian provinces have opted to harmonize their provincial sales tax with the general sales tax and the total rate is known as Harmonized Tax.
  3. Provincial Sales Tax (PST): Provinces that do not participate in the HST collection process impose their own taxes at the local level. The tax rate varies by province and can range from 5% to 9.75%. 

Shipment confirmation & Order tracking

You will receive a Shipment Confirmation email once your order has shipped containing your tracking number(s).  The tracking number will be active within 24 hours.
