Disbursement Fees:
Fees are charged for payment of duty and tax by UPS when funds are not provided by the customer in advance. A fee of 2.7% of the advanced amount or 5.85 CAD, whichever is greater, will apply for duties and taxes advanced by UPS on behalf of the importer.

To eliminate disbursement fees, the customer can contact UPS Canada and ask about the pre-payment or EFT options. Shipments with a Value for Duty less than 20 CAD will NOT be charged a disbursement fee.

Duties and Taxes:
Canadian customs assesses duty and tax which will be charged to the party indicated by the billing option selected by the shipper.

Duty and Tax Collection:
Duties and taxes may be assessed to a shipment and collected from the consignee via collect on delivery (COD), VISA, MasterCard, American Express or billing.

Import Charges:
If the consignee does not have a UPS importer account number, import charges will be paid by Collect on Delivery (C.O.D.). If the consignee does have a UPS importer account number, the shipment will be delivered and the customer will receive a billing invoice.
