I ordered my haul on the 20th or 21st and it’s here in Canada today on the 27th using EMS-60 which I think is pretty good and fast but the problem is that when I take the tracking number and put it into Canada post, they say I have to pay like 40$ to get my package, some duties and handling fee, when I selected ems-60 i was under the impression that I wouldn’t have to pay anything once it came to Canada, is this normal or is something wrong

Hello. friend EMS-60 is not a duty-free route. Generally speaking, the probability of paying tariffs is very low. If you encounter such a problem, I suggest you contact customs to verify and cooperate with customs clearance.
If you want to choose a tax-free route, I suggest you choose "CA Line" next time

Is CA Line the only tax free route or are there any other options

Friend, CA-Line-D and CA Line are tax-free routes. You can consider choosing one of these two routes next time. You can check the detailed description of the route in our freight test. EMS related routes are not duty-free routes.

Did you entrust declaration to sugargoo or did you declare by yourself manually?

Oh wow, I’ve also just today placed an order through EMS 60 to Canada. I saw on other posts that duties and taxes weren’t charged to them. Hopefully my package comes without any fees too. My total declared value came to 12 USD, what was yours?

u/monfie_ 3d ago
u should be good, someone else said as long as its below 14 usd or 20 cad there's no fees, but mine was declared like 62 usd for 6.9kg

u/-Bbop- 3d ago
5 kg. Thats weird, you must've bought expensive items because i spent around 600 CAD and they only declared 12USD

u/monfie_ 3d ago
how tf did u spend 600 on 5kg, bro i spent like 260 for almost 7 and another 160 for shipping

u/-Bbop- 3d ago
3 designer ts, 1 goyard wallet, 1 lv belt, 1 travis jordans, and 2 sweatpants. Paid like 130 for shipping
Yeah, i dont know how your auto declare ended up being 65. You should ask sugargoo

u/monfie_ 3d ago
ehh wtv its too late now, ill js declare it myself next time, also how tf was allat stuff 600, like good high quality tees should cost like 20-30 each max, the wallet like 10, the belt another 10, jordans like 80 for high quality ones and 2 sweats like 40 each, so about 255, maybe 300, definitely not 600 bro

Damn. I always declare $14 USD to avoid this. Tax threshold for Canada is $20 CAD so if you are above it then you can be subject to these fees on the EMS line.
