How Canadian duties and taxes are calculated

Courier shipments from the US valued at CAD $40 or less owe no tax. Goods that qualify under CUSMA owe no duty, and other goods owe no duty up to CAD $150. GST or HST is charged on the value plus any duty. Provincial PST and QST are generally not collected at the border, so BC, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Quebec pay GST only.

This is an estimate. Canada Border Services Agency sets the final amount and can reassess value or classification.
