How do you declare country of origin for customs - USA to Canada - Belgium product

[ch_297335]

Hi, I am new to ebay and I am interested in purchasing Magic the Gathering cards from 1993 to 1995 era from various USA sellers.

All the cards printed from this era were made in Belgium by the card company Carta Mundi and were later imported into various countries for sale as booster packs and boxes.

Although the physical 15 card packs and 36 pack booster boxes state "Product Made in Belgium", the individual cards themselves do not. The only identification on the cards are the Artist, Set Expansion Symbol and Year.

I want to purchase these individual cards from USA sellers  but the fear I have is that they will be tariffed 25% by the CBSA and then taxed 13% sales tax as I reside in the province of Ontario.

I have never sent a package to anyone before.

How does one send a package  from the USA  to Canada but lets the CBSA (Canada Border Service Agency) know the item is a Belgium product so I am only just taxed the 13%.

I just like to understand the process from a sellers perspective once they recieve an order on ebay and item is payed for how do you get it now into the sellers hand.

for example I got an order and its fully paid. Do you go to the post office, print a label, etc.

Well, you don't do it, the seller normally does. Since the seller is (probably) using the international shipping program, they don't control it either. Whatever company eBay contracts with would determine it and no one else would have any say over it (except the border agents who may or may not look into it further).

You could leave a note for the seller to please add to the box a picture of an unopened package showing the country of origin. That would at least help if the package is inspected.
