The Canadian e-commerce market is projected to swell to an impressive $72 billion USD in 2025. This thriving digital landscape is fueled by a massive consumer base, with an estimated 27 million Canadians now actively shopping online. While cross-border shopping dynamics have shifted; a significant 34% of their online purchases are still made from other countries, especially America, making Canada a highly accessible and lucrative market for global online retailers.
Unless you are shipping an envelope that weighs less than 16 oz., you need to include a customs form with your Canadian shipment. Make sure you’re not selling any items that are restricted from being imported into Canada: flammable products, furs, lighters, wine, margarine, pens valued over $5, gold coins, or tobacco. Lastly, make sure to use USPS carrier pick-up to avoid shipment delays, and don’t forget to show your prices in Canadian dollars with accurate duties and taxes.
