Gift Baskets To Canada From USA

If you’re looking to send gifts to Canada from the United States of America, you may be wondering what that process is like. When looking to send gifts from the US to Canada, there are a few things to keep in the mind. The first is Customs & Duties. There’s a long list of restricted items that customs will not allow to pass between borders. While this list is subject to change, perishable items such as cheeses and fruits are never allowed. So that takes a lot of thoughtful gourmet gift baskets out of the running.

Do I have to pay duty on items shipped from USA to Canada?

Assuming your gift makes it smoothly through customs, then you have to contend with duties. Taxes and duties may be applied to any item or gift shipped from USA to Canada. If your gift is less than $20.00, it will be exempt from duty. Otherwise, you’ll have to pay an additional 5% GST on all gifts and baskets.

So what, you may be wondering, is the alternative? How can gifts be sent from USA to Canada, without incurring additional fees and delays? The answer is simple: Canadian gift basket delivery.

Canadian Gift Basket Companies

Instead of sending your gifts to Canada from across the border, search for a Canadian gift basket company to send your gift. Canada gift companies can take orders from anywhere around the world, including (of course) the USA. When you order Canadian gift baskets, you avoid customs, duties and major shipping delays. Gifts can go faster, and it’s easier to purchase perishable items such as cheeses and send gifts with chocolate or other temperature-sensitive items.
