International shipping costs are based on a combination of the following:

• Weight and dimensions of package.

• Method of shipment such as Ground, Next Day Air.

• The location you are shipping from (city, state, country).

• The location you are shipping to (also called the destination country).

Costs can be considerably higher for international destinations.

Generally, buyers pay additional costs such as duties, taxes, and customs clearance fees. For example, international rates may or may not include pickup and door-to-door delivery with customs clearance.

Some carriers will offer customs and brokerage services to assist you with what you should tell your buyers about additional charges, duties, and taxes. An "extended area surcharge" may apply to your buyers depending on their international locations.

Visit the eBay Shipping Center to calculate shipping costs to any country.

Shipping to Canada
In Canada, buyers are responsible for paying duties, taxes, and applicable customs brokerage fees separate from the merchandise cost. Buyers will generally pay these fees upon receipt of your shipment. Tell your Canadian buyers that they may be charged additional fees once they receive your package.

An easier way to ship to Canada
UPS offers U.S. sellers a Non-Resident Importer (NRI) Account. The U.S. seller can then bill the customer up front for duties and taxes, as well as shipping and handling.

The advantages of having an NRI account:

• No cash on delivery (C.O.D.) or power of attorney (POA) to worry the buyer.

• Quicker shipment of goods as UPS does not have to wait for the release from customs.

• Delivered as prepaid.

For more information on setting up a Non-Resident Importer account, call 1-800-PICK-UPS.
