Canadian Taxes and Brokerage Fees

All orders to Canada that total more than $0 USD will be shipped via UPS International Standard Service. Shipping costs displayed on this site for Canada do not include Canadian taxes or brokerage charges collected by UPS Canada. All shipments to Canada are subject to these additional fees.

Your shipment will be subject to the same sales and/or goods and services taxes that the province or territory to which you are shipping typically collects. The amount of tax assessed will be based on the total value of your order. Please refer to your local and federal tax authorities if you have questions on these rates.

Please Note:

  • These are estimates only and may vary based on the current exchange rate. As such, they are subject to change.
  • Brokerage fees themselves are subject to provincial/territorial sales and/or goods and service taxes; the estimates listed here do not include these taxes.
  • Taxes and brokerage fees are based on the total value of your order.
  • Canadian taxes and brokerage fees are payable to the carrier, not to Concept2.
  • We encourage you to contact the carrier directly to better understand the taxes and brokerage fees your order will incur. 

Estimated Brokerage Fees:
IMPORTANT: The estimates listed here are for the UPS brokerage fees only.
