Frequently Asked Questions
What do importers typically pay UPS brokerage on a $100 parcel in Canada?
Our observed median is $36.85 based on 1 seed cases near this parcel value. Your invoice may differ if service tier (Express vs Ground) or multiline entries apply.
Does this brokerage median include duties and taxes?
No. This page covers brokerage/clearance fees only. Import duties, GST/HST, and government charges are separate line items — often confused with carrier 'processing' or 'advancement' fees.
I was charged more than the observed median — what now?
Use our check tool with your exact fee amount, or browse charged-fee pages for your invoice total. Compare line-by-line against the UPS rate guide, or generate a neutral dispute script.
Does Express shipping use the same brokerage fees as Ground?
Usually not. Express and air services typically bundle customs clearance into the shipping rate you paid at checkout. Ground/standard schedules — and this page's published baseline — refer to entry-preparation fees billed separately. If you shipped Express, your brokerage line may not be comparable to the ground tariff.
