Shopify Basic Can Finally Handle Import Duties—And It Changes Everything for Your Store Overnight

If you sell from Canada into the U.S., you already know the feeling.
That quiet tension every time a U.S. order comes in…

“Will this one get stuck?”
“Will the customer get hit with surprise fees?”
“Will this turn into another refund, another complaint, another fire I have to put out?”

‍

For years, import duties weren’t just a border issue.
They were a growth issue—blocking repeat customers, killing conversions, and turning excited buyers into frustrated ones.

But now?
That entire problem just cracked open.

‍

Shopify Just Introduced a New Mechanism—And It Changes Everything

As of 2025, Shopify Basic now calculates and collects U.S. duties at checkout.
No plan upgrades.
No hacks.
No messy apps.

Just simple, automatic clarity for your customer—and peace of mind for you.

You’re tapping directly into three massive, pre-existing desires:

‍

‍

‍

1. “Tell me the REAL price before I buy.”

No surprises → more trust → more checkouts.

‍

2. “Deliver my order smoothly.”

DDP labels now mean packages glide across the border instead of getting held hostage by customs.

‍

3. “Show me you’re a professional brand.”

Clear duties at checkout instantly elevate your store above the amateurs.

This is a breakthrough, exactly how Schwartz defined it:
A small shift unleashing enormous built-up demand.

‍

How It Works—When Everything’s Set Up Correctly

Your customer sees duties at checkout.
They pay everything upfront.
You buy a DDP label.
Their order arrives without a single extra fee.

Smooth. Clean. Professional.
The experience your store should have delivered all along.

But—
and this is the part Shopify never says out loud…

‍

You must set this up perfectly:

• HS codes
• Country of origin
• Duties enabled
• DDP shipping configured
  One wrong toggle, one missing field, and you’re right back in customs chaos.
