Analysis of small parcel exports from China to Canada

Time analysis

Air transport: 10-20 days (fluctuates greatly due to the capacity of North American routes).

Sea transport: 25-40 days (Vancouver Port has the fastest customs clearance).

Special line: Some logistics companies provide 15-day direct service (such as Canada Post cooperation channels).

Economic policy

Tariffs: Duty-free for less than 20 Canadian dollars, but GST (consumption tax) will be levied on all e-commerce packages from 2023.

Customs clearance: Canadian customs has strict inspections on electronic products and clothing, and detailed product names must be provided.

Suggestion: Prepayment of tariffs (DDP terms) can increase buyers’ willingness to buy.
