Ordering Canada Ordering through Denverdoll

I have a doll on layaway and last time I got a doll from them in Dec 2024, I didn't get charged duties, but I got lucky. I normally get charged duties from anything from the US.

I plan to pay off the doll next month, so I can keep you in the loop with any duties owed.

 

Dolls are technically duty free in Canada, but sales taxes and Canada Post handling fees can happen. With the tariff situation, I don't know what to expect!

 

We do pay tariffs on dolls—the tariff out of the US is 25% of the item’s declared value. Because DDE don’t underdeclare, I would expect to pay 25% of your order value + 5% GST, + pst if you live in a province that does that.

My order came. DDE shipped via UPS and I was charged a total of $17.

It made me wonder about what value was declared, and when I looked at the invoice, it was $71 US. The doll was worth $710. I wonder if they missed putting in the 0 at the end because DDE says they don't under declare. It was an oopsie on their end.

Either way I didn't get charged any tarrifs as far as I can see.

 

Maybe they under declared by accident. When I received my Minifee Shiwoo just after the tariffs were implemented I was charged around 370$ in fees when it would have usually been around 150$-200$.

I was not impressed to say the least and have been avoiding ordering through US dealers since. Hopefully it works out better for you.
