Customs and import charges

As a buyer, it’s your responsibility to check which customs and import charges may apply, and to pay them. These import charges are generally based on the item's price, weight, dimensions, and country of origin, as well as any taxes, duties, and fees added by your country. Your seller might be able to give you some information about import charges, but before you bid on, or buy an item, it's a good idea to check with your country's customs office for more specific details.

If there is a difference between the import fees and what you are being asked to pay, that is the carrier's service fee/customs brokerage fee.

It is possible to pay the import fees directly to CBSA, but normally this also required a trip to the office/plant where the carrier is holding the shipment "in bond" and your time and gas may be more expensive than the carrier's cost.
