Ontario HST on AllChinaBuy hauls — 13% explained
Ontario is the most common province for Canadian rep buyers — HST adds 13% on top of duties and shipping.
When your AllChinaBuy parcel enters Ontario, CBSA calculates duty (if applicable) then applies 13% HST on (item value + shipping + duty).
Example: C$180 items + C$40 shipping
- Customs duty (~18% footwear): ~C$32
- HST 13% on C$252: ~C$33
