Who pays for customs and import duties for packages sent to Canada, etc?
Shipments to Canada/international locations are subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied once the package reaches Canada/international locations. Additional charges for customs clearance are borne by the recipient of the package. Gifts sent internationally will incur duties and taxes that will be charged to the recipient after receipt of goods after delivery. As the purchaser of the product to be shipped to Canada/international location, you are considered the importer and must comply with all laws and regulations as required by Canada or other international location.
