I'm getting ready to ship a bunch of items to Canada from the States and I was wondering if someone could explain the fees involved that could potentially be charged to the recipients in Canada. Some of the things (mostly posters and t-shirts) are Gifts, some are Self-Promo items, and others are Merchandise sold online if that makes a difference. The values range from $20 US dollars to $250.
Will someone in Canada be charged a percentage of the "declared value" of the item? In some cases I'd like to declare a value for insurance purposes but in other cases I'd like to avoid a friend having to pay a large tariff on a gift that they didn't even know was coming.
