We ship multiple kits to Canada every month and have not received any reports from customers about unexpected aluminum tariffs or substantial import fees.
To ensure a smooth customs process, all kits are shipped under the harmonized system (HS) code 8479.90.94: “Machines and mechanical appliances having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere.” This classification is for the functional robotic machine, not raw aluminum, and therefore is not subject to the aluminum surcharge under chapter 76.
Shipping Details:
- Carrier:Â UPS International
- Processing Time:Â Orders are typically shipped the next business day.
- Shipping Cost: Live rates are calculated at checkout. Recent shipments to Canada have cost between $40 – $50 USD.
- Transit Time:Â Typically 3-5 business days.
Important Note:
While we use the correct HS code and have a reliable shipping history, import duties and tariffs are ultimately determined by Canadian Border Services and are subject to change. We recommend customers verify the most current import regulations for machinery into Canada.
For the most accurate estimate of potential fees, you can use the CBSA Duty and Taxes Estimator.
