Please note the enhancement to our portal’s tax calculation logic for personalized imported goods. Below is a summary of the updated process:

1. GST Application:

• Goods and Services Tax (GST) will always be applied, regardless of the CBSA entry office or the province of destination for all the provinces implying GST.

2. HST Application:

• For provinces that have harmonized their sales tax (e.g., Ontario, Nova Scotia), HST will be calculated according to the HST rates in effect for the destination province. 

3. PST/QST Application:

• PST or QST will be applied only if the province of destination and the CBSA entry port are the same province that levies PST/QST.

• For example, if the goods enter at a port in British Columbia (BC) and BC is also the destination province, BC’s PST will apply on top of GST.

• If the province of entry and destination do not match, only GST would be charged.
