Canada shipment FAQ
Canada Shipping Currently Unavailable
I'm from Canada...Before I place an order, what should I know?After making your purchase, you WILL incur additional charges due to 'importing' such as brokerage fee (UPS), and duty & tax (Canada government).Why does UPS Standard seem so economical?UPS Standard is an economical option for ground shipments to and from Canada. The trick is to understand the 'over the border' charges you will incur. In some cases you can achieve an ideal shipping cost that satisfies your need. In other cases, it can cause your additional shipment costs to be 80% of the product value.Should I ship Standard or Express?Express shipments do not incur as many 'Brokerage' charges as Standard. The Express shipments have the fees worked into the shipping price. Take into consideration, heavy packages may work out to be best shipped 'Standard', yet lighter weight packages may be best shipped 'Expedite'.Does it matter whether I ship to a Commercial address or Residential address?Yes. Commercial importers use a different chart for calculating fees than Residential importers. Also, many Commercial locations will use their own UPS accounts to eliminate confusion. As of 2008 UPS has started a program to encourage 'Residential imports'. Your supplier must be signed up with eBP in order for the Residential Customs Rates to apply. If your supplier is not setup with eBP, then the Commercial Customs Chart applies to residents as well. We at AtBatt.com are setup using eBP --discounted brokerage rates.See Brokerage Charts belowShould I be aware of my product value?Yes if you are a residential importer who is trying to stay within the incentive fee of $10 Customs charges. This requires that your product value be less than $200CAD.
No if you are in need of your merchandise and if you are using the Commercial Customs Chart. There is no magic number for imports when it comes to Commercial importers.Are these brokerage fees considered my shipping fee?No. You will pay a shipping fee at time of purchase. Your product and shipping fee will be pre-paid. We will then prepare your shipment to leave our warehouse and be transported by UPS. UPS will handle customs clearance into Canada and will also collect the brokerage fees from you at time of delivery.How long does it take to receive my package via UPS Standard?Most Provinces can be served within 7 business days. The general calculation is 7-10 days. UPS is traceable from the moment it leaves our warehouse, so tracking your package at UPS.com will provide the most accurate information.
Residential / Commercial Brokerage RateResidential are based on UPS' eBP program. If you are using this chart to calculate estimated fees, but you are unsure whether your supplier is using eBP, it is best to estimate your rates from the 'Commercial Deliveries' chart.Commercial rates are based on UPS' Rate Guide for Customs Clearance into Canada (effective January 2008).Residential Brokerage RateCommercial Brokerage RateIMPORTANT - Other charges:Customs GST - (approximate range 5% up to 13% of Product Value) || Brokerage GST - approximately 5% of above listed brokerage fees || These "government charges" will apply to ALL shipments.
