DTC Shipping from US to Canada: Any US brands collecting provincial sales tax on Canadian orders to avoid broker fees associated with the shipment? I think I've figure out that collecting the duty from my customer at checkout (DDP) will avoid any broker agent needed for the transaction, just need to courier to transport to the customer. This does require you to remit tax to CA government quarterly or something like that but certainly makes shipping US to CA a less scary purchase for customers, as there won't be any surprise brokers holding parcels hostage for added fees. those experience in this space, please let me know if I am missing something here. Thanks!
No, you covered it off well. You shouldn't have to remit until you hit $30k in sales.

You could also find a Canadian company to act as an agent for you and manage tax obligations
@Ryan Bennett I think so. What do you mean 'act as agent? For importing or filing? Our Accountants are actually based in Canada but specialize in cross border taxes
Importing and filing. Some companies will act as IOR and/or VOR for non-resident importers.
It's not something companies usually advertise, because everyone would ask for it as it essentially removes all the risk from the importer/brand.
