Taxes, Duty and Brokerage Info

Customers outside Canada are exempt of the Canadian taxes (GST and PST). Local officials will determine duties on international orders and bill them to you separately. Contact your customs office for specific information on duty rates and restricted items. An additional Brokerage (handling fee at the border) charge will be added and billed to you separately. 

Climbing hardware, ski gear, and bikes usually have a fairly low duty rate. Clothing or anything made of leather or fabric are sometimes subject to higher rates. Rates are subject to change from one year to another.

Customers in the U.S.A.:

U.S. Mail Services will charge you separately for duty. Items made in Canada or the U.S. are duty free. 

A brokerage fee of approximately $5.00 charge (which is decided by the broker, not Mountain Magic) for Surface or Air Mail will also be added. Courier services have much more expensive brokerage fees: they can vary from $25.00 to $75.00 depending on the size and amount of the order. 

If you are thinking about using a courier service but are concerned about the price, contact us via e-mail or write a note in the "special shipping information" box  when you fill out the shipping information form.
