Canadian customers will pay sales tax according to the province in which they reside (GST, PST, HST, etc.). This will be applied above and beyond the advertised price of the garment. For customers residing outside of Canada, you are liable for all import duties, customs and local sales taxes levied by the country you are in. Payment of these at the time of delivery is necessary to release your order from customs on arrival. Since customs duties amounts vary from country to country, we cannot provide you with an estimate of how much duties will be. You may contact your local customs border agency who may advise you based on the information you provide them.
