Shipping to Canada

Canadian orders are handled as international shipments. GST, HST, PST, duties, brokerage and other import charges may apply depending on the province, product origin, tariff classification, shipment value, carrier and customs broker.

For qualifying common-carrier shipments, customers may request use of their own customs broker. Broker details must be provided and approved before the order ships. BelTile normally arranges and prepays the transportation unless otherwise agreed in writing.

How International Freight Is Arranged

Parcel Service

For qualifying small shipments and samples.

Air Freight

For time-sensitive orders where available.

Ocean Freight

For larger orders where transit time allows.

LTL / Truck Freight

Commonly used for Canadian and cross-border shipments.

Crated or Palletized Shipping

Used where required to protect heavy or fragile material.

Important Delivery Planning

Tile is heavy and fragile. Delivery may be curbside or terminal-based and may require equipment for unloading. The receiving party must confirm access, unloading capability and inspection procedures before shipment.

International Order Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Which countries does BelTile ship to?

International destinations are reviewed individually. Availability depends on the material, shipment size, carrier service, destination access and import requirements.

Can BelTile estimate import duties?

BelTile does not include or guarantee destination duties, taxes, brokerage or clearance charges unless they are expressly listed in writing. Consult a customs broker or local authority for destination-specific estimates.

Why is there a $3,000 minimum?

International orders require additional review, export packing, payment processing and freight coordination. The minimum applies to the merchandise value of the international order.

Are international orders returnable?

No. International orders are final sale and cannot be returned, exchanged or refunded. Confirm products, quantities and suitability before payment.

Can I arrange my own freight carrier?

BelTile normally selects and arranges international freight. Customer-arranged transportation is accepted only when approved in writing before the order is placed.

How are tile orders packaged?

Packaging depends on the material and shipment method. Orders may be palletized, crated or otherwise reinforced to protect heavy and fragile tile during transit.

Can I use my own customs broker?

For qualifying common-carrier shipments, customers may request their own broker. Complete broker instructions must be supplied and approved before shipment.

What happens if the shipment arrives damaged?

Inspect the shipment before signing, note visible damage on the carrier document, take photographs and retain all packaging. Contact BelTile promptly so the available claim process can be reviewed.

Are duties and taxes included?

No, unless specifically stated in the written quote. Import duties, taxes, tariffs, brokerage, inspections, storage and destination fees are the customer's responsibility.

Can samples be shipped internationally?

Many samples can be shipped internationally when carrier service is available. Contact BelTile with the sample product links and destination address for review.
