Duty/Customs/Brokerage Fees

Redevil · 10-20-2003

Anyone have experience with shipping Rims and Tires from the US to Canada?

I need to know what I'm looking at for Duty, Custom, and Brokerage Fees. I have never ordered rims from the US before. Are the fees crazy for rims and tires?

Please let me know with what you have experienced.

Thanks
Ariane

Don't think it's UPS' fault, or else I would just go with Fedex.

UPS has the worst brokerage fees ever! I boycott them now.

my purchase was 150 canadian...its in the size of the box too...the bigger they are then you can't say its a gift

Why can't big boxes be gift?
My aunt send me a set of rims as gift?

i think after a certain dollar value, you'll still get taxed even if it is a gift.

so i guess you'll have to declare the value low, i got my set of rims and tires with no brokerage fee, nice huh

that wont work...i think the dollar value has to be under around $20cad

haha, what rims are that cheap?

the rims+tire package came 850 USD shipped, and why won't it work? it's the seller's decision how much they want to declare, they can declare 5 bucks for all they care, not like they are gaining anything off brokerage anyway

I would suggest that this is a fluke, because I ship product from the us on a weekly basis at work and I never have any luck with customs and I use a customs broker in Blaine. Unless your rims are made in the states, in that situation the NAFTA will see them though without tax and duty.

If you have any customs questions call Pacific Customs Brokers http://www.pcb.ca

I had a bumper shippped, which the seller put a value of $100 and the duty and brokerage fees were $50. It was sent with FedEX.
