US Wholesale Liquidation Pallets — Shipped to Canada
Canadian resellers — bin stores from Toronto and Vancouver, Quebec market traders, Calgary and Edmonton wholesalers, online sellers serving every province — source US wholesale liquidation when the dollar-to-loonie math and shelf-pull condition deliver retail margins local sources can't match. Wholesale Ninjas ships from our Newark, Delaware warehouse through standard ground freight under USMCA terms — typically 3-7 business days to most Canadian provinces.
Freight from US to Canada
Cross-border ground freight from Newark to Toronto, Montreal, or Ottawa typically runs 3-5 business days. Vancouver and the western provinces run 5-9 days by truck or 4-6 days via rail intermodal. Most pallet-sized shipments are handled by LTL freight (Old Dominion, Estes, Day & Ross, etc.) with customs brokerage handled at the Niagara, Detroit-Windsor, or Pacific Highway crossings. For full-container volumes, sea freight to Halifax (East) or Vancouver (West) is available but rarely cost-effective for most Canadian-bound liquidation.
Customs and duties at the Canada-US border
Under USMCA, most goods of US origin enter Canada duty-free — but liquidation lots often contain mixed-origin merchandise (made in China, Vietnam, etc., even if liquidated by a US retailer). CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency) assesses Most Favoured Nation (MFN) duty rates of 0-20% on non-USMCA-origin items by category, plus 5% GST federally and provincial sales tax (0-10% depending on province). We provide USD commercial invoices, packing lists, and origin certifications where applicable to support your customs broker's CBSA filing.
Payment from Canada
USD wire transfer from any Canadian bank is the most common payment route — TD, RBC, BMO, Scotiabank, CIBC all handle USD outbound transfers cleanly. PayPal works for orders under $5,000 USD. CAD-to-USD conversion happens at your bank's prevailing rate. Volume discounts apply over $10,000 USD.
FAQ
- Does USMCA make this duty-free?
- Partially. US-origin goods qualify for duty-free under USMCA. But most retail-liquidation lots contain mixed-origin merchandise — your customs broker assesses MFN rates on the non-qualifying portion of the manifest.
- Truck or rail for cross-country shipments?
- Truck for time-sensitive Ontario/Quebec/East. Rail intermodal for Vancouver and the Prairies — meaningfully cheaper per pallet when transit time isn't critical.
- Do you accept CAD payment?
- We invoice in USD only. Your bank handles the CAD-to-USD conversion. Most Canadian buyers find USD wires cleaner than fighting with USD/CAD volatility on every invoice.
