Provincial Sales Taxes
Separate Provincial Sales Taxes (PST) are collected in the provinces of British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, and Prince Edward Island. Goods to which the tax is applied varies by province, as does the rate. Moreover, for those provinces whose provincial sales tax is applied to the combined cost and GST, provincial revenues decline or increase with respective changes in the GST.

HST (Harmonized Sales Tax) - based on an agreement between the provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and the federal government, GST and PST taxes were combined into a flat rate of 13% for the three participating provinces which is known as the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST).
Brokerage Fee – This is amount paid to customs broker. If you have your own broker, please specify that.
Shipping Cost – Our shopping cart calculates the cost of shipping Ground to Canada accurately. Ground shipping uses ACTUAL weight. If you choose to have us ship Express instead, the shipping cost on the cart will be wrong. Hopefully, someday, FEDEX will create a software so this doesn’t happen. Express shipments use DIMENSIONAL weight – not ACTUAL weight.
