Custom duties Canada
User asks about shipping and customs duties for small Alibaba orders to Canada.
Hi there, all new in Alibaba and want to print 50 decals from a seller. One of them said shipping was $35 and another $10 but that it did not include Custom duties. Is this normal for Canada? What should I expect? I also want to purchase 50 glass cups. Many thanks
The shipping quote from an Alibaba supplier often only covers the freight side, not customs duty, taxes, brokerage, or clearance charges in Canada (unless it is DDP).
You should check the CBSA website rather than relying on the seller, because the seller usually will not know exactly what Canada will charge. Generally anything above $20 CAD will have fees charged.
Thanks so much, I'll look it up
No problem! TBH after you spend time organising all this and possibly paying import fees, may just be easier to buy locally.
Oh really? So Alibaba it's not that good then
they the must by doing express delivery ask them for express DDP it will take 15 days and around 20-30$
what kind of glass cups u need？i may help u
You run a company, you should be able to look up a HS code and find the associated tariff.
