Origin decides the tariff
- The US Section 301 forced-labor tariff (10% or 12.5%), the China Section 301 lists, the Brazil tariff and the Section 338 tariff on Canadian goods all depend on where the goods were made. Sources: zonos.com, everycrsreport.com
- Canada's surtax applies to listed goods made in the US even if they ship from a third country. Sources: cbsa-asfc.gc.ca
Ship-from still matters for some thresholds
- Canada's higher C$40/C$150 courier limits apply to shipments from the US or Mexico. Sources: cbsa-asfc.gc.ca
- Check the 'made in' marking or the seller's listing. If you are unsure, Parcelsline shows the possible range rather than guessing. Sources: zonos.com
