Canada Customs

Customs duty & CBSA rules

Canada has one of the lowest de minimis thresholds in the developed world: just CAD $20. This means almost every parcel above $20 declared value attracts duty plus GST/HST/PST. For courier shipments however, CUSMA (post-NAFTA) raises the courier-LVS de minimis to CAD $40 for tax and CAD $150 for duty on US-origin courier parcels — but these higher thresholds do not apply to India-origin shipments.

On entry, the recipient pays CBSA’s calculated duty (typically 0–18% by HS code) plus GST 5% federal, plus provincial sales tax — total 5% (Alberta) up to 15% (Atlantic provinces & HST provinces). For Bangalore-based B2B exporters and tech-sample senders (software demo units, prototype hardware, signed contracts to Toronto and Vancouver partners), we file the commercial entry with correct HS codes so CBSA clears the tech-sample carton cleanly in 1–2 days.

We prepare every consignment with a clean commercial invoice, KYC, recipient phone and correct HS codes so CBSA can clear it in 1–2 days at the port of entry (typically Toronto YYZ, Vancouver YVR, Montreal YUL or Calgary YYC).

De minimis (general): CAD $20 — most parcels attract duty/tax
Duty rate: 0–18% by HS code (clothing 16–18%)
GST / HST / PST: 5% federal + 0–10% provincial = 5–15% total
Documentation: KYC + commercial invoice + recipient phone
Average clearance: 1–2 business days
Major ports of entry: Toronto (YYZ), Vancouver (YVR), Montreal (YUL), Calgary (YYC)
