Duties and Taxes

Q. Do you calculate duties and taxes for orders shipping outside the US?
A. The answer varies depending on where your order is shipped:

  • Orders shipping to Canada: Applicable duties and taxes are calculated during checkout. L.L.Bean collects duties and applicable GST, HST, PST at the time the order is placed and remits the proper amount to Revenue Canada. Provinces of New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Nova Scotia must remit HST (13%). Ontario must remit GST (5%). Quebec must remit QST (7 ½%) to the total including GST. All other provinces remit GST. L.L.Bean will clear your packages through our broker in LaColle, Quebec. Amounts received by L.L.Bean for duties and taxes are received on your behalf for the broker. Items manufactured by L.L.Bean in the US, Canada, or Mexico are not assessed duty. However, items that are imported or made in a country other than the US, Canada, or Mexico will be assessed duty based on the country of origin. Please refer to an item's description for details on where it was manufactured. Please contact us for more information.
  • Orders shipping to Japan: Orders are shipped via Yamato Transport. There may be duties applied to the order that are not calculated during checkout. Please note that these duties are not collected by L.L.Bean and that customers are responsible for any additional duties at the time of delivery. Please contact us for more information.
  • Orders shipping to destinations outside the US, Canada and Japan: Duties and taxes, if imposed on your order; are due at time of delivery (these charges are not calculated during checkout and are not collected by L.L.Bean).
