Genuine Gifts and the CAN$60 Relief

Under CBSA courier regulations, a bona fide gift sent from an individual abroad to an individual in Canada enters duty-free and tax-free if valued at CAN$60 or less:

  • Gifts Above CAN$60: Duties and taxes apply only to the portion of value exceeding CAN$60.
  • Gift Criteria: Must be sent between private individuals for personal occasions (e.g., birthdays or festivals) with a gift notation.
  • Family Goods vs. Gifts: Shipments of personal effects or family items not meeting personal gift criteria do not receive the CAN$60 gift exemption and are assessed under standard casual import rules.
  • Exclusions: Alcohol, tobacco, vaping items, and commercial samples do not qualify for gift relief.

Casual Imports, GST & Provincial Taxes

Non-gift casual imports and amounts over CAN$60 are subject to Canadian sales taxes and duties:

  • 5% federal Goods and Services Tax (GST).
  • Harmonized Sales Tax (HST, e.g., 13% in Ontario) or provincial sales tax (PST) where applicable.
  • Customs duties depend on commodity classification and origin.

Customs Duties and Payer Responsibility

Destination customs duties, local taxes, administrative clearance fees, and payer responsibility depend on the quote, carrier, and destination regulations, confirmed before booking. Duties and taxes assessed by CBSA are typically billed to the recipient prior to delivery. Final clearance decisions rest with CBSA officers. Learn more in our Customs, Duties & Taxes Guide.

Volumetric Weight on Canada Shipments

Air carriers bill on chargeable weight—the higher of physical scale weight and volumetric weight (length × width × height ÷ the carrier divisor). Bulky items like winter wear or quilts can significantly increase billed weight in oversized cartons. Our warehouse team assists with carton sizing and repacking to avoid paying for empty space. Test dimensions on our Volumetric Weight Calculator.

Service Delivery Tiers to Canada

  • Express: Prioritized air transit for time-critical documents, transcripts, and urgent consignments.
  • Priority: Balanced transit times and pricing for standard personal parcels.
  • Economy: Cost-conscious routing for heavier personal goods or non-urgent consignments.

Transit times depend on airline schedules, destination postal codes, and CBSA clearance. Specific estimates are confirmed with your quotation.

Enquiry-Only Categories

The following categories are accepted on an enquiry basis only and require individual pre-shipment review:

  • Student Baggage & Excess Luggage: Requires review of carton dimensions, weight, route, and destination delivery access.
  • Food Items: Require exact item, ingredient, route, destination-rule, and carrier review before acceptance.
  • Batteries & Electronic Devices: Require device, battery-detail, route, and carrier review before acceptance.
  • Personal Medicines: Handled strictly through our Medicine Courier Enquiry Service. Health Canada regulates imports based on residency rather than citizenship: Canadian residents are generally not permitted to import prescription drugs by mail or courier. Visitors staying more than three months may receive an additional 90-day supply every three months by mail or courier and should provide evidence of visitor status. Medicine remains strictly an enquiry, and the required medical documents are confirmed during route review.
  • Commercial Cargo: Requires review of the goods, shipment purpose, route, and required commercial documentation.

Official Notice on Physical Indian Passports

Customers can request routing for academic transcripts, degree certificates, and credential files to Canadian colleges, universities, and evaluation bodies (such as WES Canada).
