Canada Counter Tariff Fee

  • Effective for orders shipping on or after Tuesday, September 8, 2026, a 50% counter tariff fee applies to all orders shipping to Canada
  • The fee is calculated on the product only; it is not applied on top of the 10% Canadian shipping surcharge
  • GST/HST is calculated on the total after both the shipping surcharge and the counter tariff fee have been applied
  • Example: on a $100 USD product order, the 10% shipping surcharge adds $10 and the 50% counter tariff fee adds $50, bringing the subtotal to $160. GST/HST is then calculated on that $160
  • See the CBSA customs notice for more information

Shipping back to you (Studio Shipping)

  • A 10% surcharge is applied to all orders to offset additional shipping expenses
  • Shipments to all provinces are by FedEx Express.
  • FedEx Express will arrive to many locations in 2-4 business days
  • For shipments to the Canadian Territories, please see the Other Countries section.
  • The required GST or HST (based on the province) will be collected by WHCC and will show up as sales tax on your invoice
  • WHCC is the importer of the packages so no additional taxes or fees will be due at delivery
  • These orders are subject to the $18 minimum before any shipping charges are added

Shipping direct to your client (Drop Shipping)

  • Shipping your order to an address other than the address on file for your account is called drop shipping and is available for $7.95 plus the 10% Canadian surcharge and the required GST or HST will be collected
  • No invoice will be included and there is no mention of WHCC anywhere on the box or paperwork
  • Customs paperwork and invoices are submitted electronically to FedEx so nothing on the package will have the shipment value
  • These orders are subject to the $18 minimum before any shipping charges are added
