Frequently Asked Questions
Is selling to Canadian buyers on eBay worth it after customs duty, GST, and brokerage fees increase their total cost?
Selling to Canadian buyers on eBay is worth it when you account for duty rates and landed cost before listing. Canadian buyers pay 0-18% duty depending on product category, plus 5-15% GST or HST by province, plus courier brokerage fees that can add $20-50 per shipment. The key decision is whether the Canadian market demand justifies the complexity. Electronics often qualify for 0% duty under USMCA and attract buyers willing to pay premium cross-border prices, while clothing at the 18% rate may squeeze margins thin.
How much does it cost to import a $300 item from the US to Canada after duty, GST, and brokerage fees?
Importing a $300 item from the US to Canada typically adds $40-80 or more to the total landed cost depending on product category, province, and carrier. At current exchange rates, duty applies to the CAD-converted value — often 6.5% for general merchandise — plus GST of 5% nationally and up to 15% HST in Atlantic provinces. Courier brokerage through UPS or FedEx can add another $20-50 on top, making the total import overhead 15-30% of the declared value.
What is the formula for calculating GST, HST, and duty on a parcel shipped from the US to Canada?
The landed cost formula for a US-to-Canada shipment starts with converting the sale price from USD to CAD at the current exchange rate. Apply the duty rate to the CAD amount for your product category, then add HST or GST based on the destination province — 5% GST nationally, 13% HST in Ontario, and 15% HST in Atlantic provinces. Quebec applies GST plus QST separately. Brokerage fees charged by the carrier are separate and not included in the tax base, but they add $20-50 on most courier shipments.
Does USMCA eliminate import duties on all US-made products shipped to Canada?
USMCA covers 0% customs duty for many product categories shipped from the US to Canada, but only if goods meet the rule of origin requirements. Goods must be substantially made in North America — items manufactured overseas and resold through US channels often do not qualify. Electronics and automotive parts commonly meet the threshold, while clothing and footwear require specific domestic content levels that most thrifted or resold garments cannot meet. GST or HST and courier brokerage fees apply regardless of USMCA status.
