Ordering from the US or overseas? Enter the price and your province to see the duty and GST/HST/PST you'll pay, and whether the CA$20, CA$40 or CA$150 limits apply.

How Canadian import charges work

ShipmentNo taxes up toNo duty up to
Courier from the US or MexicoCA$40CA$150
By post, or from any other countryCA$20CA$20
Gift from abroadCA$60CA$60

Above the limit, duty is charged on the value of the goods and then GST (5%) plus your provincial tax (or HST) on the value plus duty. Goods made in the US or Mexico are duty-free under CUSMA at any value, but taxes still apply. Canada Post adds a handling fee and couriers add brokerage fees, which can be more than the tax on cheap items.

Typical duty rates

Clothing and shoes up to 18%, jewellery 8.5%, furniture 9.5%, bicycles 13%, and 0% on phones, laptops, most toys and books. Check your code in the Canadian Customs Tariff.
