Customs & documentation for Canada
Canada has a CAD $20 de minimis threshold for gifts and CAD $20 for commercial goods, meaning most shipments will attract GST (5%) and possibly provincial sales tax. You must provide a detailed customs declaration (CN23) with accurate descriptions and values. Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) processes all imports.
