THE MARGIN LEAK
Why Individual Cross-Border Returns Erode Your Canadian Margin
Punitive Label Costs
Shipping one returned shirt or box from Toronto to Ohio or Michigan routinely costs $22–$45+ CAD—often wiping out the product’s entire profit.
Repeated Brokerage & MPF Fees
Every single cross-border parcel triggers individual customs entry fees and CBP Merchandise Processing Fees before you even inspect it.
Delayed Customer Refunds
Parcels stalled in border clearance leave buyers waiting 1–2 weeks for refunds—driving support tickets and chargebacks.

CUSTOMS & COMPLIANCE
Audit-Ready Duty-Free Returns Under HTSUS 9801.00.10
Under US tariff subheading 9801.00.10, goods previously exported from the United States can return duty-free (within 3 years for foreign-made goods, unlimited for US-made goods)—provided they were not upgraded or repaired in Canada.
Your brand remains the Importer of Record, and our Sarnia team generates the exact pallet-level documentation your customs broker needs to clear the Blue Water Bridge smoothly.
