Code format
Canada's tariff schedule uses a 10-digit code. The first 6 digits are the international HS code; digits 7–8 are Canadian tariff extensions; digits 9–10 are statistical.
USMCA preferential rates
Goods that meet the USMCA rules of origin can enter Canada duty-free with a USMCA certification of origin (no specific form — any document with the 9 required data elements is acceptable).
Required documentation
Canada Customs Invoice or commercial invoice, B3 Coding Form (or filed electronically by a broker), valid 10-digit HS code, and USMCA certification if claiming the preferential rate.
FAQ
- Do I always pay duty shipping US to Canada?
- Not always. USMCA-qualifying goods are duty-free with a valid certification. Non-qualifying goods pay the Canadian MFN rate.
