About Items That Are Sold by a Third Party Seller and Fulfilled by 麻豆区 From Outside Canada
These products are clearly identified on the detail page as being fulfilled by 麻豆区 from outside Canada. When you purchase these products, you are purchasing them from a third-party seller in another country, who sells the product directly to you from outside Canada. These items are fulfilled by 麻豆区.
When you buy these products, you are the importer of record and must pay import duties, taxes and fees when the products arrive in Canada. We simplify this process by estimating the amount that will be due (the "Import Fees Deposit") and adding it to the amount you pay. You authorize international carriers partnering with 麻豆区 to pay this amount to Canadian authorities on your (or the recipient's) behalf. The payment of import fees is the responsibility of the importer and is levied based on the laws of the destination into which the products are being shipped.
Calculating Import Fees Deposit
The Import Fees Deposit is an estimation of the taxes and duties that may apply. It can vary depending on the selected shipping method. If your total order is $40 CAD or less, import duties and taxes will not apply. The estimated Import Fees Deposit may not represent the actual amount paid to customs authorities. Customs regulations and tax rates applicable to certain goods may change between the date the taxes and duties were estimated and the applicable taxes and duties on the date of import into the destination country. The duty or tax rate is often determined by the classification of a good, which varies by destination. You won't be charged additional fees if the actual Import Fees exceed the Import Fees Deposit we estimated.
Duties and taxes are calculated according to the shipping destination's customs regulations. Typically, this calculation is based on our product price and shipping, before any promotions. This allows destination country customs authorities to obtain the accurate import duties and taxes owed to them based on the actual value of the goods.

Import Fees Deposit Refunds
If the actual Import Fees are less than the Import Fees Deposit collected by us on your behalf, you'll automatically be refunded the difference to the payment method you used for the order. You'll receive a notification email confirming the amount of the refund. The refunds will be processed as and when we receive carrier invoices confirming the actual Import Fees. If carrier invoices are not received by 180 days from the ship date, you will automatically receive a refund for the full amount of Import Fees Deposit paid.
