At SwatchOn, we make importing easy and simple.

We prepare all the customs forms and documents you need so that clearing your shipment through customs is seamless. 

 

 

Customs Duty is Free for Canada

If you are making shipments to Canada, SwatchOn fabric Customs Duty is completely free under the MFN (Most-Favoured-Nation) Tariff Rules. South Korea is included in the beneficiary country list of MFN.

What does this mean to you?

  • There will be zero customs duty if your SwatchOn order is shipped to Canada.
  • You will only be charged for sales tax (GST*/PST**/HST***) in Canada to clear customs.
  • And, as you may already know, these sales taxes can also be refunded from your government if you have a registered business in Canada.

 

Sales Tax Invoice Example

Let's say you're shipping to Alberta. You will be charged 5% GST, so if the total product value is $605.5, you will be charged $30.28 for GST. If you have a registered business in Canada, you can get this amount (charged as GST) refunded by your government.
