Taobao Shipping Canada Customs
When using Taobao's official forwarding service, taxes and duties must be paid by the customer. Here's an overview of Canadian customs rules:
- Threshold: Duties and taxes are calculated based on the declared value (product cost + shipping + insurance).
- Duty-Free Limit: Packages under CAD 20 (approx. ¥10 RMB) are usually duty-free.
- Above CAD 20: May be subject to import duties and taxes.
- GST/HST: Goods imported into Canada are subject to federal GST or provincial HST, typically 5%-15%, depending on the province.
-
Duties: Vary by product type. For example:
- Clothing, shoes: duties can reach 18% or more.
- Electronics (phones, computers): usually 0% duty but subject to GST/HST.
- Handling Fees: If tax is prepaid by Canada Post or a courier, a handling fee may apply (e.g., Canada Post charges CAD 9.95).
Tip:
If a parcel is not inspected, duties are typically waived. If inspected and value exceeds CAD 20, duties and taxes may apply.
How to ship Taobao items to Canada?
There are two main ways to ship Taobao goods to Canada: use a forwarding company or hire a Taobao agent.
FAQ
Is shipping from Taobao to Canada free? +
Usually not. The previous "¥299 Free Shipping to Canada" promotion has ended. That campaign offered free air shipping on select items once the cart total reached ¥299 RMB, but only on items marked with the green free-shipping tag, such as jewelry, bags, glasses, and organizers.
Can Taobao ship to Canada? +
Yes. There are two main options: use Taobao's official logistics (choose "Direct Mail" or "Forwarding" when checking out), or use a third-party forwarder—just enter the forwarder's warehouse address when ordering and consolidate later.
How long does Taobao shipping to Canada take? +
Taobao official shipping:
- Air: Promised time is 5 business days, but delays can occur due to peak seasons or customs, ranging from 1-7 days of wait time before flight.
- Sea: 15+ days.
Private forwarding (e.g. JYS):
- Air: Typically 5–10 days.
- Sea: As fast as 15 days.
Is Cainiao shipping to Canada expensive? +
Air: Cainiao's air shipping is fast (3–5 business days), but relatively expensive. For example, the first 1kg is ¥90, and each 0.5kg additional is ¥25. For a 5kg parcel, total is roughly ¥290.
