International shipping<\/a> can feel like a barrier for many businesses, especially when it comes to determining how to pay duties and taxes. If duties and taxes aren\u2019t paid in advance, your customers will be responsible for the cost when their shipment arrives. Additionally, packages with unpaid taxes and duties can be delayed in customs or returned for lack of payment or being left with the carrier for too long. However, we have a solution for you! Stamps.com provides your business with a way to pay Canadian taxes and duties<\/a> with Canada DDP.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is DDP?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

DDP stands for Delivered Duty Paid. All DDP means is that your business pays the duties and taxes for a shipment, so customers don\u2019t have to pay when their package arrives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Benefits of Canada DDP <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Canada DDP can be used with USPS First Class Mail<\/a> International\u00ae, Priority Mail International\u00ae*, and Priority Mail Express International\u00ae* shipments. The flat fee for using Canada DDP is $9.95 for USPS First Class Mail International\u00ae, Priority Mail International\u00ae, and Priority Mail Express International\u00ae. This fee will be included with the cost of your label, so there\u2019s no need to worry about adjusting your shipping process. Also, shipments using Canada DDP don\u2019t need printed customs forms<\/a>, as all of the information needed is included with your label. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Priority Mail International Medium and Large Flat Rate Boxes aren\u2019t eligible for Canada DDP, so other types of packaging will need to be used. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Value Limits for Canada DDP <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One thing to note is shipments using Canada DDP have a value limit, meaning the total cost of the items in your shipment can\u2019t pass a certain monetary amount. The value limits for each service can be found below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
