If you travel through Canada with your bicycle (i.e., it is with you when you enter Canada), there is no customs fee. However, if you ship it ahead of you and you are not there to receive it, it could be interpreted as an import into Canada, hence the customs fee.I also think it is best to take your bike with you when traveling between the US and Canada because you will have to pay higher taxes in other cases. A friend explained to me that the problem is that when you bring the bike into Canada, you will have to pay the Canadian duty on top of the US duty that was included in the price you paid. The minimum responsibility you will have to pay at the border is 13.2%, regardless of the country of manufacture. In short, you will have some headaches. Last time, I used ems tracking over to send some packages to my brother in Canada, and honestly, it cost me something. That's why I will try another method this time.
It is essentially the same process for Canadians travelling through the US by bike, also.
