What are the logistics behind Gilt's ability to ship goods into Canada from the US without issues of duties & taxes?
-
When goods are manufactured outside of the US and shipped into the US, the importer pays duties. How does a company like Gilt ship these goods into Canada without having any implications of additional duties to the consumer in Canada on the cost of these goods? How does a company ship individual orders from the US to Canada without duty implications? Is it possible to minimize these additional costs to the end purchaser?

Answer:
Gilt Groupe partners with an International Distribution company, FiftyOne, which handles the duties/taxes calculation at checkout (for the customer) and paperwork (for Gilt) prior to export to international destinations.

Duties and taxes are the same no matter what you do either you pay upfront when you bulk ship to Canada or you pay as product is sold. It costs much much more to be in country in Canada that's why the big players ship items from the US, so they pay the duties and taxes as the items are sold rather than having their money tied upĀ stored in inventory in Canada.
