Thresholds and duty bands are buyer-planning references, not formal customs rulings — confirm the exact HS-code rate for your goods before shipping.
E-Commerce Restock
Small-Batch E-Commerce Restock
The 21 KG band is the classic e-commerce restock or first trial run. Air is the default — it lands the best cost-to-speed trade-off, and most managed air channels open at around 21 KG. Functionally this is less-than-container air freight.
Most managed air channels set their floor near 21 KG
On the current feed, China-to-Canada rates open at USD 3.46/KG via Sea DDP UPS. For a 21 KG load that works out to a freight total of approximately USD 73. RateHive can manage the customs entry and import-tax step, while the duty itself follows the GST 5% (+ provincial PST/HST); duty 0–18% set by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).
What import duty and tax will I pay bringing goods into Canada?
Entries into Canada are assessed by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), and the regime that applies is: GST 5% (+ provincial PST/HST); duty 0–18%. On de-minimis, the position is CAD 20 (CAD 40 gifts; CAD 150 duty-free under CUSMA courier). RateHive offers managed clearance and tax processing — a coordination service, not Incoterms DDP — to handle these formalities for you.
What paperwork clears customs in Canada?
Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) will generally want: a commercial invoice carrying HS codes and value; a packing list with weights and dimensions; the bill of lading or air waybill; a certificate of origin where it can cut duty; and any commodity-specific certification (ISED for radio devices; bilingual EN/FR labelling). RateHive can prepare and lodge these as part of managed clearance.
Is my shipment to Canada trackable?
Yes. Air moves on an air waybill (AWB) that's live within 24 hours of departure; ocean tracks by bill of lading through the carrier portal. We flag the milestones that matter — departure, gateway arrival, clearance by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), and final delivery.
Which certifications does Canada require on imports?
For regulated cargo into Canada, budget for: ISED for radio devices; bilingual EN/FR labelling. A missing conformity document is the single most common reason Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) puts a shipment on hold, so verify your HS-code requirements before the goods leave China.
How is chargeable weight worked out for Canada?
We take the greater of actual gross weight and volumetric weight (L×W×H ÷ 6000 for air), rounded up to the next kilo. For 21 KG this bites hardest on light-but-bulky cargo — re-packing or consolidating cartons can pull you into a cheaper band.
Which gateways are used for China shipments into Canada?
Ocean cargo into Canada generally moves through Vancouver, Prince Rupert, Montreal; air clears via YVR (Vancouver), YYZ (Toronto), YUL (Montreal). We route through whichever gateway gives the fastest onward leg to your delivery address, with clearance handled as a managed service.
What currency are Canada rates quoted and settled in?
We quote and invoice freight in USD; the destination-side currency in Canada is CAD. Payment usually falls due before departure (T/T or PayPal), and with managed clearance you settle the landed cost once rather than facing collect charges on arrival.
