Canada import in practice
What changes landed cost to Canada
Canada charges GST/HST and possible duty on imports, with limited low-value relief for courier shipments. A low 1688 price is only the start of your real landed cost.
Low-value relief is narrow
Under CUSMA, courier shipments may see duty relief under CA$150 and tax relief under CA$40, but this does not apply to all shipments or origins. Goods from China are not automatically tax-free — assume GST/HST can apply.
GST/HST plus duty, by province
GST (5%) or HST (up to 15% depending on province) applies on most imports, plus possible Customs Duty based on tariff classification and origin. The CBSA duty/tax estimator is the entry point.
Clearing customs is not permission to sell
Health Canada, CCPSA product-safety, and labelling rules still apply. 1688 listing claims do not prove Canadian compliance for children's products, electronics, or cosmetics.
Official sources
For sourcing planning only. GST/HST, Customs Duty, tariff classification, province, and origin can change the final amount — confirm with the CBSA or a customs broker before paying a supplier.

Trust boundaries
What we do — and don't do
Clear boundaries are part of the service. Here is what you can count on.
What the record can confirm
- Written report before supplier payment — Decisions before you pay any supplier.
- No bulk order before verification — We validate with a sample or evidence first.
- Risk flags before ordering — We highlight risks clearly up front.
What it does not guarantee
- Supplymo can stop, request evidence, recommend a sample, or decline a product. It does not guarantee supplier quality, import approval, delivery time, marketplace approval, or sales.
- Supplymo does not promise a fixed duty, tax, freight price, delivery time, customs outcome, supplier quality, or platform approval.
- For sourcing planning only. GST/HST, Customs Duty, tariff classification, province, and origin can change the final amount — confirm with the CBSA or a customs broker before paying a supplier.
Good fit for
- Shopify / TikTok Shop sellers
- AliExpress / CJ users moving to source
- Small Canadian sellers importing from China
- Need evidence before paying
- Want clear Canadian landed cost and risks
Not for
- Counterfeit or restricted goods
- Deep compliance without specialist review
- Guaranteed lowest price
- Open-ended product sourcing
- High-risk or prohibited items
GST/HST generally applies; duty depends on tariff classification and origin. Use the CBSA estimator before quoting your customer.
FAQ
Canada sourcing questions before you pay
Start with one strong product. Supplymo will route it as a check, supplier question, quote, sample, assisted order, prep, or shipping request.
Are small 1688 shipments to Canada tax-free?
Not reliably. CUSMA courier relief may waive duty under CA$150 and tax under CA$40 in some cases, but it does not cover all shipments and goods from China are not automatically exempt. Assume GST/HST can apply.
How much is GST/HST on imports?
GST is 5%, and HST ranges up to 15% depending on the province, applied on most imported goods, with possible Customs Duty on top. Use the CBSA estimator for your case.
Can I sell 1688 products on Shopify in Canada?
Often yes, but compare landed cost and compliance. Health Canada, CCPSA, and labelling rules apply; 1688 listings do not prove compliance.
Do I need a customs broker?
For ongoing commercial imports, a broker helps with tariff classification, valuation, and clearance. We surface the questions; a broker confirms the numbers.
What happens if the product is restricted or needs specialist compliance advice?
The check flags visible restricted-product, carrier, certification, and platform-compliance signals. A high-risk or unclear case can end in Manual review or Stop. It is not legal or customs advice, so regulated categories still need the appropriate specialist before you pay.
What evidence do I receive after goods reach the China warehouse?
When receiving and photo evidence are included in your approved quote, you receive dated photos of the visible cartons, labels, and contents before the next handoff. Those photos do not by themselves prove product performance, full compliance, or defect-free goods; deeper inspection is a separate approved scope.
