FAQ
How much would this footwear order cost landed in Canada?
With an item price of $180.00, $90.00 shipping, and the selected carrier-fee preset, this simplified example estimates a landed cost of $328.86.
Does Canada charge duty on this example?
Yes in this simplified model: estimated customs duty is $43.20. Exact duty depends on the final commodity or tariff code.
Does origin from China change the calculation?
Most consumer goods ship from China without preferential tariff treatment, so the standard category duty rate is used. Exact duty still depends on the commodity code. This worked example uses the standard category rate and does not model preferential-origin paperwork.
Can I use this page for a different order value?
Yes. Edit the calculator fields on this page to adapt the example to your own item price, shipping, insurance, and carrier-fee estimate. Use BorderTally Pro when you need to run many SKUs or destinations at once.
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.
