Shipping Your Equipment From The U.S. to Manitoba

If this is your first time shipping equipment from the U.S. to Manitoba, you might have questions.

No problem!

At Heavy Haulers, we're experts in shipping your equipment and oversize loads from the U.S. to Manitoba. Here's what you need to know:

Permits and Paperwork

Shipping equipment across the border means you'll need the right permits. Manitoba has specific requirements for oversize and overweight loads, including:

• • Single Trip Permits for non-divisible loads exceeding legal dimensions or weights.
• • Routing Approvals based on bridge weights, clearances, and road conditions.
• • Commercial Invoices and Customs Documentation for border clearance.
• • Carrier Codes and PARS Labels for Canadian customs tracking.

Our team handles every detail, from obtaining permits to submitting cross-border documents, ensuring your equipment moves legally and efficiently.

Duties, Tariffs, and Taxes

1. Customs Duties
   • • Most used machinery and equipment is duty-free under the USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement), provided it meets the rules of origin requirements.
   • • Brand-new equipment or equipment made outside the U.S. might still be subject to duty rates, typically ranging from 5% to 9.5%, depending on the classification.
2. Goods and Services Tax (GST)
   • • All imported goods into Canada are subject to 5% GST, calculated on the total value of the equipment plus duties (if applicable).
   • • This tax is paid at the border and is refundable for Canadian businesses registered for GST.
3. Excise Taxes
   • • Generally not applicable to heavy equipment, but certain specialized or fuel-consuming equipment might be subject to additional levies. Always check the equipment classification.
