Please make sure that you are not confusing the terms used when importing goods.  Good shipped from the USA to Canada will be subject to Import/Customs duties which are based on both the origin  of manufacture and the good's general classification.  Goods manufactured in Canada/USA/Mexico are not subject to Import/Customs duties.  Additional fees include Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) which is based on the value of the item being imported.  HST varies by province.  The last item will be a fee charged to clear the item through Customs (Customs Clearance or Customs Brokerage fee) which will vary depending on the service used to clear customs.
