Customs duties for international shipping to Canada are typically calculated based on the goods’ cost, insurance, freight, and insurance (CIF) value and the applicable tariff rate.
In this article, Weefreight will explain in detail, hoping it will be helpful.
Determine the HS Code of the Goods: Canadian Customs classifies imported goods according to the Harmonized System Code (HS Code). Different HS codes correspond to different tariff rates. Businesses can check the applicable tariff rate on the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) website.
Determine the CIF Price of the Goods: The CIF price includes the value of the goods, freight, and insurance, and is the basis for calculating customs duties.
Calculate the customs duty amount: Customs duty = CIF price × applicable tariff rate. For example, if the CIF value of a product is $10,000 and the tariff rate is 5%, the customs duty payable is $10,000 × 5% = $500.
In addition, other factors should be considered, such as the origin of the goods. Goods from countries with which Canada has a free trade agreement may qualify for zero or preferential tariffs. For personal imports, customs clearance is possible if the goods are registered with Canadian customs.
