Shipping Terms to Consider When Shipping to Canada
The default option for shipping internationally from Canada is delivery duty unpaid. Common carriers use the term EXW which essentially assigns all import related costs (duty, taxes, and other fees) to the receiver/ importer. Shippers from Canada can choose to pay the import fees on behalf of the receiver via a Delivery Duty Paid (DDP) options that many carriers offer.
See our blog on IncoTerms and shipping terms for packages and online orders.
The disadvantage of paying import fees on behalf of the receiver is that the bulk of the import fees are often from the provincial sales tax that the importing business may otherwise be able to claim back.
CPTPP Versus CUSMA T-MEC
Mexico and Canada actually have two free trade agreements: CUSMA T-MEC and CPTPP. Shippers have the option to choose the one that best suites their needs. Some experts say that the origin requirements under CPTPP are more favourable than via the new NAFTA.
