Dear Philip,
Thank you for your reply.
A Brokerage fee is charged to process your shipment and present your paperwork to customs on your behalf. All courier shipments with a value exceeding $20 CAD require customs clearance by a broker. The customs clearance procedure requires the broker to perform, on behalf of the importer, a number of tasks. Tasks include, but are not limited to, auditing import documentation, classification of the commodity being imported, and preparation and transmission of accounting information to Canada Customs. The UPS Customs Brokerage published rate schedule is competitive with industry standards.
You may find our rates for customs clearance into Canada at:
http://www.ups.com/content/ca/en/shi...clearance.html.
When accessing the link for Rates for Customs Clearance into Canada, please review the complete fee schedule provided. Please note: Entry Preparation Charges, Disbursement Fees and Additional Services may apply to your shipment.
I am sorry for any confusion caused by the Brokerage fee.
Please contact us if you need any additional assistance.

Here's the tracking number 1ze3e3376857965164 and I was charged 24.88 for a brokerage fee on a item I shipped to the USA and back it was not a purchase ups is the only company that charges this fee and it's outrages. I talked to numerous other people that shipped the same item to the same place and back and they wernt charged it like u just pick and choose who your going to charge and also everyone eles I talked to refuse to buy from companies that only ship ups because of this reason. I would like a refund of the 24.88 because there is absolutely no reason to charge this fee on a warrantee return item that was made in the USA in the first place.*

UPS tracking numbers are either 11 or 18 digits long, and 18-digit tracking numbers begin with '1Z'. Once I receive your reply, I will be more than happy to address your request.

What is your question or comment? Hi I shipped a package to the USA it was a warrintee issue. The place then shipped back the item fixed. When usp deliverd the item I was charged ( duty/brokerage fees) now the item was made in the USA and I shipped it down there they shipped it back I didn't purchase anything so why am I being charged duty and or brokerage fees. This is a rip off and I would like a refund.
