US Shipping to the United States – What to Expect

FORS equipment is proudly made in Canada, and yes — we ship to the United States.

To keep things transparent, here’s how US orders work.

How US Shipping Works

All US orders ship from Canada using standard carriers (UPS, Purolator, freight), under the international shipping term DAP (Delivered At Place).

This means:

  • You pay for your equipment and shipping at checkout

  • We ship directly to your address

  • No Canadian sales taxes are charged

Import Duties (Usually $0)

Our equipment is classified as athletic training equipment and is manufactured in Canada.

In most cases:

  • Import duty is 0%

  • No additional “import tax” is charged

This is typical for fitness and strength equipment shipped from Canada to the US.

Brokerage Fees (What They Are)

Some carriers (especially ground services) charge a brokerage fee for customs clearance.

  • This fee is charged by the carrier, not by FORS

  • It covers the paperwork required to clear US customs

  • Typical cost: USD $20–$50

Express shipping options often include brokerage in the shipping price.

What You’ll Usually Pay (Summary)

  • Equipment price

  • Shipping cost shown at checkout

  • Occasionally a small brokerage fee billed by the carrier

  • No Canadian tax

  • Usually no import duty
