Import facts that shape any China-to-Canada shipment:
| Main sea gateways | Vancouver, Prince Rupert, Montreal |
|---|---|
| Destination customs authority | Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) |
| De-minimis / duty-free threshold | CAD 20 (CAD 40 gifts; CAD 150 duty-free under CUSMA courier) |
| Import tax & duty regime | GST 5% (+ provincial PST/HST); duty 0–18% |
| Local currency | CAD |
| Typical port/airport dwell time | 3–6 days |
| Peak / busy season | Aug–Oct |
| Conformity & certification | ISED for radio devices; bilingual EN/FR labelling |
| Main air gateways | YVR (Vancouver), YYZ (Toronto), YUL (Montreal) |
Thresholds and duty bands are buyer-planning references, not formal customs rulings — confirm the exact HS-code rate for your goods before shipping.
At 100 KG you've crossed into commercial freight — heavy enough to earn competitive per-kilo rates, yet still in the window where air can out-perform ocean once you price in inventory time. Typical cargo on this band into Canada is electronics, apparel and general-goods replenishment.
| Method | Transit Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Air Freight DDP | 5–10 business days | From China warehouse to Canada door |
| Sea Freight LCL | 30–50 calendar days | Shared container to Canada port + delivery |
| Express Courier | 3–7 business days | DHL/FedEx/UPS door-to-door, high cost for this weight |
On the current feed, China-to-Canada rates open at USD 1.44/KG via Sea DDP UPS. For a 100 KG load that works out to a freight total of approximately USD 144. 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).
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.
Reckon on these door-to-door windows into Canada: air 5–10 business days, ocean LCL 30–50 days, ocean FCL 28–45 days. Add roughly 3–6 days for clearance and dwell at the gateway, which RateHive can manage end to end.
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.
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.
For 100 KG into Canada, air usually wins on total landed cost even at a higher per-kilo rate, because a 30–45 day ocean transit (plus 3–6 days dwell) ties up inventory. Air also opens volume pricing past 100 KG.
Managed clearance into Canada is a coordination service — it isn't Incoterms DDP. We file the customs entry and arrange the duty/tax owed to Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) (the de-minimis position being CAD 20 (CAD 40 gifts; CAD 150 duty-free under CUSMA courier)) so you don't have to broker it yourself.
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.
