Six destinations, six sets of paperwork

The destination decides more about a haul than the goods do. It sets the value at which an assessment begins, the basis on which tax is collected, and which classes of hold are likely. Every figure on these pages is either a published rule or marked as unverified.

How to use these pages

Read the threshold figure first, because it decides whether your parcel is assessed at all. Then read the tax basis, because a destination that collects tax at the point of sale behaves differently from one that collects at the border even when the numbers look similar.

The hold sections are written as identification and response rather than as warnings. Each hold has a signal you can see in tracking, steps to take, and the documents that resolve it. Where we do not have a defensible transit range, the page says so instead of publishing a number.
