Very little revenue at FedEx comes from brokerage fees. For non-commercial orders, FedEx has a flat $10 brokerage fee, and only about 10% of residential packages have import duties on them. You can avoid the $10 fee by hiring your own broker to clear your package, or you can even clear it yourself.

UPS is a different story...

I like import duties, it helps to encourage shopping within Canada.
