FAQ

Is there Canada import duty on toys?

Toy duty can be zero, low, or high depending on the destination, exact commodity code, origin, and current trade measures. Import tax and product-safety rules may also apply. Verify the item against the official Canada tariff and safety authority.

Does the Canada threshold apply to toys bought online?

Toys follow the same low-value parcel rules as other consumer goods: postal shipments from every country and courier shipments from outside the United States or Mexico use the CAD 20 duty-and-tax threshold. A courier shipment from the United States or Mexico can use the higher CAD 150 duty threshold and CAD 40 tax threshold only when the goods entered the commerce of that country before shipment to Canada; simple transshipment does not qualify. Confirm the current threshold with the official source.

Are there extra rules for imported toys?

Yes. Imported toys typically must meet the destination's product-safety and labelling requirements. This estimate covers charges only, not safety compliance.

How much is import duty on toys?

There is no safe worldwide default percentage for toys. The exact rate depends on the destination's tariff classification, origin rules, and current trade measures; GST (federal), clearance fees, and mandatory safety compliance can also affect the real cost.

Estimate only. This calculator does not provide customs, legal, or tax advice. Final charges are determined by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and the parcel carrier. The numeric tax line includes federal GST only and excludes provincial PST/HST variations. The CAD 40/150 thresholds require a qualifying courier shipment from the United States or Mexico; postal shipments and other ship-from countries use the CAD 20 baseline in this model.
