Yes, duties and taxes may apply to any international shipment, whether you're shipping to or from Canada. These charges are determined by the destination country and depend on several factors, including:
Product Type: The kind of item being shipped.
Country of Origin: Where the product was manufactured.
Destination Country: Specific import regulations and tax rates.
Shipping Cost: In some cases, taxes may also apply to the cost of the shipping service itself.
Who Pays the Duties and Taxes?
Shipper-Paid Duties and Taxes
If you choose for the shipper to pay, these fees will be charged to your credit card as an adjustment after the shipment is processed.
Receiver-Paid Duties and Taxes
If the receiver is responsible, the courier will collect the duties and taxes before the parcel is delivered.
