Freight per kilo, transit time, the duty threshold and the paperwork — for CA specifically, not a generic rate card.
Every destination has its own arithmetic. A parcel that clears Canada in a week at one price can sit in customs for a fortnight and cost twice as much if the paperwork is wrong. This page is the CA version: the numbers we quote today, and the rules that decide what you pay at the door.
Air express, door to door, billed on the packed weight. Rates below include our handling; the service fee is separate and shown on the fees page.

Sea consolidation is about a third of the air price on parcels above 20 kg, with 30–45 days transit. For a single pair of shoes or a phone case, air is almost always the right choice.
Threshold. C$20 postal / C$40 courier — duties and tax apply on most commercial parcels.
Tax. GST/HST 5–13% by province.
What this means in practice. A US$300 order of winter clothing, auto parts, home goods, electronics, tools usually lands under the threshold and pays tax only — but the tax is calculated on the goods plus the freight, which is the part buyers forget.
Our position. We declare the real value, every time. Under-declaring is fraud in every market we serve, and a seized parcel costs more than the tax saved. If a route cannot legally carry your item, we say so before you pay.
Every parcel is opened, counted, weighed and photographed on our floor. For CA we also check: CBSA charges brokerage on courier shipments; we use routes that include clearance in the freight price.
What our customers ship most: winter clothing, auto parts, home goods, electronics, tools. If your item is not on that list it does not mean we cannot send it — send the link and we will tell you in writing.
How much does shipping from China to Canada cost? Air express runs about US$9.02 per kg on our current rate card, so a 2 kg parcel is around US$18.04 in freight. Sea consolidation is roughly a third of that on heavy goods. Every quote shows the freight line separately from the service fee.
Do I pay duty and VAT in Canada? C$20 postal / C$40 courier — duties and tax apply on most commercial parcels. GST/HST 5–13% by province. We show the estimated tax in the written quote so the landed cost is known before you approve.
What can't you send to Canada? Batteries above the carrier limit, liquids over 1 litre, aerosols, counterfeit goods, and anything on the destination's restricted list. Send the product link and we confirm in writing before you buy.
