GST Information For Shipments To Canada

Most small package shipments we ship to Canada are sent by UPS. If an item is shipped by UPS, you will pay Wikco.Com for the merchandise and shipping only, and then you will pay UPS for the brokerage fees and GST And HST Taxes. UPS will contact you and you will either specify that you want to use UPS to collect the fees and broker the shipment, or if you receive a lot of packages from the U.S. and have your own broker, then give UPS the name of the customs broker you use.

We will broker truck shipments if you would like and you can pay us all fees on truck shipments so the shipment is free and clear to your door. You will pay any GST plus Provincial taxes required plus brokerage fees and shipping. Note: We are required to collect these taxes if we broker the shipment as we have to pay them before the shipment can be released to you. If we broker a shipment you will get charged the correct taxes, but it you don't know how they are calculated, read below.

Explanation Of GST/HST- All items imported into Canada from the United States are subject to the Canadian Federal Sales Tax called the GST tax which is 6 percent of the total of the merchandise value plus duties, (duties should be zero however on NAFTA items). This tax applies to all Canadian Provinces. There is also a provincial sales tax called the HST (Harmonitized Services Tax) if it is added to the Federal GST tax and combined and calculated as a total. Various other provinces have rates of 6, 7, or 8 percent and some are figured on the merchandise value plus HST not just the merchandise, so check your province if you are not sure. They are also listed below:

Alberta, Yukon, Nunavit, and Northwest Territories no provinicial tax, Saskatchewan 6 percent, British Columbia 7 percent, Manitoba 7 percent, New Brunswick, New Foundland, Labrador and Nova Scotia 8 percent. All these above that have provincial taxes are figured after HST is added to the total. Ontario has an 8 percent provincial tax calculated on the selling price without GST (so total tax is GST plus HST which is 14 percent and multiply times value of merchandise for total tax).
