Shipping to Canada — Please Read

Heads up: We ship Canadian orders from our USA warehouse via DHL (typically 7–10 business days). When your parcel clears Canadian customs, you will be billed for any import duty, 5% GST and a handling fee from the carrier handling final delivery (usually Canada Post). These charges are paid by you (the customer) on delivery — they are not collected by us at checkout.

ℹ️ Although your order ships from the USA, our products are manufactured in China. Canadian import duty is based on the country of origin (China), not the country of shipment, so CUSMA / USMCA free-trade rates do not apply.

Breakdown of items attracting duty:

Item	Duty Rate	Est. Duty

Estimated import duty: $0.00

Estimated GST (5% of cart + duty): $0.00

Canada Post handling fee (flat CAD $9.95): $0.00

Estimated total you'll pay on delivery: $0.00

⚠️ These are estimates only. The actual amount is determined by the CBSA at the time of import. Canada Post charges a flat handling fee of CAD $9.95 whenever duty or GST is collected. If your parcel is delivered by DHL directly instead of being handed to Canada Post, a small clearance fee may apply instead. Items not listed above are duty-free, but GST and the handling fee may still apply.
