Delivered duty paid, or not

Every quote we send to Canada shows the landed cost, with the charges above included, before you order. If you want it delivered duty paid we clear the shipment, pay the duty and tax, and nothing is due when the courier arrives. If you would rather clear it yourself through your own broker, we ship on standard terms and send the paperwork with it.

Is there VAT or GST on jewellery imported into Canada?

Yes. GST of 5% is charged on the customs value plus the duty. A business registered for the tax can usually reclaim it, which means the real cost of importing is the duty and the fees alone.

Who pays the duty, the buyer or the seller?

It depends on the shipping terms. If Argentia ships delivered duty paid, we pay the duty and any tax at the border and nothing is due when the courier delivers. If the order ships on standard terms, the courier bills the buyer before handing over the parcel. For Canada we quote both ways so you can see the difference.
