Importing technology into Canada requires careful navigation of local customs, taxation, and compliance laws to avoid costly delays.
Thanks to the CUSMA/USMCA free trade agreement and the WTO ITA, the vast majority of enterprise IT hardware originates in or enters Canada completely duty-free.
Importers must carefully model the tax implications. The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is 5%, but when combined with provincial taxes (HST), the total tax burden can reach 15%, payable upon import.
