Postal and courier shipments valued at CAD 20 or less are relieved of duty and tax, while commercial express shipments from the US or Mexico can use the higher CUSMA thresholds (duty-free up to CAD 150, tax relieved up to CAD 40). Preferential rates under CUSMA, CPTPP, CETA or the Canada-Korea agreement apply only with a valid proof of origin, and since CARM was introduced commercial importers also need a CBSA portal account to account for and pay duty.
