TAXES & DUTIES

HOW IT WORKS
  • Taxes on Canadian Orders: Product prices do not include taxes. All Canadian orders will be charged the applicable tax based on the shipping destination's provincial tax rates. As a British Columbia-based business, we are required to collect tax on all orders shipped within Canada.

  • Taxes on International Orders: Orders shipped outside of Canada are not subject to Canadian sales tax at the time of purchase. However, you may incur additional taxes and/or duties when your order is processed through customs in your destination country. Please refer to the customs regulations in your country for more information on additional duties and taxes.
POLICY
  • Responsibility for Duties and Taxes: Becca’s Bags is not responsible for any additional duties, taxes, or fees applied by customs.

  • Refused Orders: In the case of refusal at customs, the order will be considered final sale, and the recipient will still be liable for the order, shipping fees, taxes, and any additional customs or duty charges.

  • Why Are Your Tax Rates Different from Other Companies? Becca's Bags applies the tax rate based on the provincial tax of the shipping destination for orders within Canada. As an incorporated business based in British Columbia, we are legally required to do so. If another company charges only 5% across Canada or no tax at all, they are, in fact, not complying with tax regulation law.
