Buy in Denmark, Shipped to Canada
Your Danish purchase, sent on to Canada. New goods with a receipt, received in Copenhagen, checked, repacked and tracked to your ground floor.
In short
GIA ships brand-new furniture, lighting and design pieces bought from Danish shops to private buyers and companies in Canada, including from shops that will not ship to Canada themselves. Your goods need their original packaging and a receipt. GIA receives or collects them in Copenhagen, inspects and repacks them, and ships them on, tracked on giaservice.dk. GST or HST, any duty and the clearance are paid by the receiver, and delivery is to the ground floor.

Pricing
How the price is set.
Every shipment gets a fixed price in writing before anything moves. The price depends on:
Importing your Danish purchase into Canada
Goods sent from Denmark to Canada are cleared by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). Most imported goods are subject to GST, plus PST or HST in some provinces and territories. Goods made in the EU can qualify for lower or no duty under the EU–Canada trade agreement (CETA).
| Sales taxes | Most imported goods are subject to GST, plus PST or HST in certain provinces and territories. |
|---|---|
| Low-value shipments | For goods sent from countries other than the US and Mexico, the duty and tax remission threshold is CAD 20. Above it, duty and taxes apply to the whole value of the shipment. |
| Duty and CETA | Under CETA most tariff lines on EU-origin goods are duty free. To claim it, the exporter’s origin declaration must be on the invoice or another commercial document, and the goods must meet the rules of origin. |
| Who pays | The receiver pays GST or HST, any PST, any duty and the clearance. GIA prepares the export documents in Denmark. |
| Pallets | Shipments to Canada travel on heat treated, stamped Euro pallets. |
Where the goods were made matters
CETA applies to goods that originate in the EU. A Danish brand is not always made in the EU, so check the country of manufacture before you buy, and ask the shop whether it can add the CETA origin declaration to the invoice.
Delivery to the ground floor in Canada
The shipment is handed over at street level at your address. Carrying the goods upstairs or into an apartment is arranged by the receiver. Tell us about loading docks, building rules or delivery hours in the request.
Questions from buyers in Canada
Will I pay GST on furniture shipped from Denmark?
Yes, most imported goods are subject to GST, plus PST or HST in some provinces and territories.
Is there duty on Danish furniture in Canada?
Goods that originate in the EU can be duty free under CETA when the exporter’s origin declaration is on the invoice. Goods made elsewhere follow the normal Canadian tariff.
Is there a duty-free limit?
For shipments from countries other than the US and Mexico, the remission threshold is CAD 20. Above that, duty and taxes apply to the whole value.
Will the driver bring the furniture inside?
Delivery is to the ground floor at street level. Carrying the goods upstairs or inside is arranged by the receiver.
How long does shipping to Canada take?
The expected timing depends on the goods, the packing and the address. We confirm it in writing together with your fixed price.
