Import duty on LED lamps and light fittings from China to Canada

Short answer: Canadian duty on LED lamps and light fittings from China depends on the exact tariff item in chapter 94; we have not listed a rate here because similar products sit under different lines. Look it up in the CBSA Customs Tariff (MFN column applies to China). GST of 5% applies on value plus duty. In our example, each 1% of duty adds about US$0.05 per unit.

FAQ

What is the Canadian import duty on LED lamps and light fittings from China?

It depends on the tariff item in chapter 94 of the CBSA Customs Tariff. Find your product line and read the MFN column, which is the rate for Chinese goods. We only quote rates we have checked line by line.

Is Canadian duty charged on international freight?

Canada values goods for duty at the point of direct shipment, so the main international freight to Canada is normally not part of the value for duty. GST is charged on the value for duty plus duty.

Which HS chapter are LED lamps and light fittings in?

Usually chapter 94 (furniture, lighting and prefabricated buildings). The exact code depends on material and use, for example plastic LED light fittings. Confirm the code with your customs broker before you ship.
