About HS Chapter 81

Chapter 81 of the Canadian customs tariff covers other base metals. TariffCalc lists 62 10-digit tariff items in this chapter, with MFN (Most Favoured Nation) duty rates ranging from 0.0% to 0.0% (average 0.0%).

62 of 62 items (100%) are duty-free under MFN. Importers from countries with Canadian free trade agreements (CUSMA, CETA, CPTPP, CCFTA, CKFTA, and others) can often import at 0% when rules of origin are met.

Value for duty (CAD)$10,000
MFN duty (0.0%)$0
GST 5%$500
Total landed (before freight)$10,500

What is HS Chapter 81 in the Canadian customs tariff?

Chapter 81 covers other base metals. It contains 62 10-digit tariff items in the TariffCalc database, with MFN duty rates ranging from 0.0% to 0.0%.

What is the typical duty rate for Chapter 81 imports?

The average MFN rate across Chapter 81 is 0.0%. The majority of items (100%) are duty-free (0%) under MFN. Free trade agreements (CUSMA, CETA, CPTPP) may reduce the rate to 0% for qualifying goods.

Do free trade agreements apply?

Yes. Most items in this chapter qualify for preferential rates under CUSMA (US, Mexico), CETA (EU, UK), CPTPP (Japan, Vietnam, etc.), and other Canadian FTAs. See each tariff item’s detail page for the full rate-by-agreement breakdown.

How do I calculate import duties?

For a CAD $10,000 shipment in this chapter at the average MFN rate (0.0%), duties would be approximately $0, plus 5% GST ($500), for a total of $10,500 before freight. Use the TariffCalc calculator for a precise calculation by tariff item, country of origin, and province.
