Mailing / shipping from US to Canada

Recommended Posts

My business is going to start shipping to Canada soon as to drum up more some more clients. Does anyone currently ship from the US to Canada on a regular basis? What are the caveats and things I need to be aware of?

It depends whether your products will be classified as made in America. If they are, I believe they will be duty free because of NAFTA, but what I don't know is whether Fed Ex or UPS will charge for brokerage service. If they are classified as foreign-made, then the products have to be sent as a gift, person-to-person to with a value under $60 CAD to avoid tariffs, although I'm still not sure whether UPS and Fed Ex will charge brokerage fees.

Generally, I send via the Post Office and mark the product as a gift around $25 in value, although Canadian Customs can claim that a value is unrealistic.
