Typically, these fees are collected from the recipient upon delivery. These added costs may come as a surprise to some customers. In some cases, it can lead to negative reviews, in others, the customer may reject the shipment and ask for a refund. If this happens, the sender may have to pay additional costs to have the item returned to them or treat the order as abandoned. Needless to say, this can be a cumbersome and costly experience. Everyone likes avoiding surprise charges and with GlobalPost, you and your Canadian customers can avoid surprise customs fees thanks to GlobalPost\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goglobalpost.com\/usps-canada-ddp\/\">Canada DDP<\/a> for USPS.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style='border: 1px solid #E2E8F0; border-left: 6px solid #20EE88; padding: 1.5rem; background-color: #F9FAFB; margin: 2rem 0;'><strong>Avoid Surprise Customs Fees When Shipping to Canada:<\/strong><ul style='margin-top: 0.75rem; padding-left: 1.25rem; line-height: 1.6;'><li>GlobalPost\u2019s Canada DDP allows prepayment of Canadian duties and taxes for a seamless shipping experience.<\/li><li>Utilizing Canada DDP can prevent surprise fees for customers, enhancing satisfaction and reducing return rates.<\/li><li>Flat rates for Canada DDP are set at $9.95 for various USPS services, simplifying cost management.<\/li><li>Canada DDP streamlines the shipping process by eliminating the need for customs forms and reducing administrative burdens.<\/li><li>ShipStation users can access discounted international shipping rates through GlobalPost, improving overall shipping efficiency.<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-globalpost-canada-ddp\">What is GlobalPost Canada DDP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Canada DDP eliminates potential hassles and improves your customers\u2019 shipping experience by letting you prepay all Canadian duties and taxes. DDP stands for Delivered Duty Paid. Conversely, most services default to Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU). Unpaid duties and taxes rank one of the top reasons why international packages are not delivered. By prepaying these costs, you can help reduce the chances of the package being returned.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goglobalpost.com\/usps-canada-ddp\/\">Canada DDP<\/a> eliminates potential hassles and improves your customers\u2019 shipping experience by letting you prepay all Canadian duties and taxes for one low flat rate of $9.95 for First-Class Mail International\u00ae, Priority Mail International\u00ae, and Priority Mail Express International\u00ae. If Canadian duties and taxes are assessed by customs and DDP was not included, Canada Post collects the fees upon delivery, plus an additional $9.95 surcharge. That extra surcharge ends up cutting further into the seller\u2019s margin. By using Canada DDP you will not get this surcharge. Furthermore, GlobalPost\u2019s Canada DDP solution streamlines efficiency by eliminating the need for printing of customs forms. When the items arrive at our GlobalPost facility, we add harmonized systems (HS) tariff codes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-canada-ddp-rates\">Canada DDP Rates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>First-Class Mail International\u00ae&nbsp;<\/td><td>$9.95<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Priority Mail International\u00ae<\/td><td>$9.95<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Priority Mail Express International\u00ae<\/td><td>$9.95<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Note: Shipments sent via First-Class Mail International cannot exceed $400 in value.

When preparing a First-Class Mail International\u00ae, Priority Mail International\u00ae, or Priority Mail Express International\u00ae shipment to Canada, open the Duties\/Taxes drop down menu and select \u201cPrepay Duties and Taxes.\u201d It doesn\u2019t have to be applied manually either. feature can also be added as a bulk update or be used to create an automated rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Restrictions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Shipment cannot exceed 4 pounds in weight.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shipments sent via First-Class Mail International cannot exceed $400 in value.

Any duties and taxes that exceed $500 that are associated with your shipment will be directly billed to your account. We do not control how customs officials assess duties and taxes and we do not control the rates at which items are assessed. The shipper is responsible for resolving any disputes relating to duties and taxes directly with the relevant customs officials.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-globalpost-from-shipstation\">GlobalPost from ShipStation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>GlobalPost is the carrier of choice for growing businesses.
