Canadian Tax and Duty Overview
Navigating Canada’s complex tax and duty regulations can be challenging. GFS simplifies this process for you, ensuring that you comply with all local tax rules while minimising costs.
GST, PST and HST: Canadian taxes are levied at both the federal and provincial levels, including Goods & Services Tax (GST), Provincial Sales Tax (PST) and Harmonized Sales Tax (HST). Tax rates vary by province.
Duties: Duty rates are determined by the product category. For example, ranging from 0% for vitamins and costumes to 18% for clothing and footwear.
De Minimis Rules: Goods valued under CA$20 are exempt from both tax and duty, making it easier to ship low-value items to Canadian customers without added costs.

Why UK Businesses Struggle Shipping to Canada
Expanding into Canada offers substantial eCommerce growth potential, yet many UK retailers hit similar hurdles:
- Complex tax & duty rules across provinces: With federal GST, and varying provincial PST or HST rates, landed-costs can become unpredictable.
- Varied duty rates by product category: Some items attract 0 % duty (e.g., vitamins) while others (e.g., clothing/footwear) may face up to ~18 %.
- Delivery to remote or harder-to-reach areas: While major cities may see fast delivery, reaching remote provinces or territories can take longer and incur extra cost.
