Customs Guide
Canada's $20 CAD threshold is among the world's lowest. GST/HST (5-13% depending on province) plus potential duties apply to nearly all Sugargoo orders. CBSA randomly inspects 8-12% of packages. Accurate but conservative declarations help. Canada Post handles most final delivery after customs clearance.
