SHIPPING POLICY

Back-Bone Gear Inc. (Back-Bone) is located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and ships to many international destinations. Customers from outside Canada are responsible for their own country’s import taxes, duties and applicable clearance fees. These additional charges are not included in the shipping price. Please check with your country’s customs office to determine what the additional costs will be prior to buying. Clearance fees can be determined by checking with your local FedEx, DHL, UPS or post office website. Estimates of tax and duty can be determined here: https://www.easyship.com/duties-and-taxes-calculator/usa .

USA customers – Please be aware that the $800 USD ‘de minimis’ tax free import exemption has now been eliminated by the Trump administration. This means that even low cost shipments will be taxed based on the value and country of origin. Your chosen shipping courier will provide tools to pay the import duty online or at the door. Tariff rates are changing on an ongoing basis as the Trump administration changes policies, so when estimating import fees please take into account the most current tariff rates based on the country of manufacture (listed below).

  • All shipments originate from Ottawa, Canada via FedEx, DHL, UPS or Canada Post unless the product listing states otherwise
  • We are unable to mark the package as a “gift”.
  • Declared shipment value will come from your invoice and it will not be altered.
  • Tracking information will be supplied via email when applicable.

Country of origin Guide:

Although we modify and package GoPro and Sony cameras in Canada, the original cameras were manufactured in different countries. When estimating import tax and tariffs this is how the country of origin will be marked on the commercial invoice when shipping.
