What is Section 321?
Section 321 is an exemption in the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement that allows small shipments to enter the U.S. duty-free. For direct-to-consumer (DTC) ecommerce retailers, this offers an opportunity to reduce your cost per unit through waived or refunded import duties on items that enter Canada bound for U.S. recipients, without affecting the customer’s experience.
