| Courier (FedEx, UPS, DHL) | 2 to 5 days | Parcels and e-commerce | from about CAD 170 for 5 kg |
| Canada Post | 7 to 14 days | Small personal packages | from about CAD 40 for 2 kg surface |
| Air freight | 5 to 10 days | Commercial cargo 100 kg and up | about CAD 5 to 7 per kg |
| Ocean freight | 30 to 60 days | Pallets and containers | from about CAD 1,500 per 20 ft container |

The European Union changed how customs authorities process low-value e-commerce and personal shipments in 2026. These changes directly affect Swedish consumers importing goods valued at 150 euro or less.
From 1 July 2026 the EU removed the 150 euro duty-free de minimis, and a flat 3 euro customs duty applies per customs-declaration line, meaning per distinct tariff category (based on tariff sub-headings) in the parcel. It is an interim measure until 1 July 2028, when the EU Customs Data Hub launches and normal tariff rates apply.
Example calculation
A separate EU-wide handling fee of about 2 euro is expected around November 2026, though the amount and date are still being finalized. In addition, item-level Product Identifier Data becomes mandatory on 1 November 2026, and generic descriptions are no longer acceptable.
Corrections noted: the earlier version described a "3 euro duty multiplier" without a date and a firm "2 euro handling fee from November 2026." The precise position: the 3 euro is a flat interim duty per declaration line from 1 July 2026, interim until 1 July 2028; the 2 euro handling fee is proposed for around November 2026 but not yet finalized. See our EU Product Identifier (PID) guide.
The Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) eliminates duties on most originating goods, but shippers must ensure their products strictly meet the CETA rules of origin, with a valid origin declaration, to claim preference. Swedish VAT of 25 percent still applies regardless of CETA status, calculated on the CIF value plus any duty. For consignments over 6,000 euro the exporter needs a REX number; below that, the invoice origin statement suffices. Benefit from Canada's free trade agreements.
For small parcels, Canada Post, with PostNord handling final delivery, is often the cheapest route. Couriers offer the best value for mid-sized parcels up to about 100 kg. For heavier commercial shipments, economy air freight, or ocean freight for pallets, is the most cost-effective.
Postal options usually deliver within about 2 weeks. Courier express takes about 2 to 5 business days. Air freight usually delivers within about a week. Ocean freight takes about 30 to 60 days depending on routing.
Chargeable weight is the greater of the actual scale weight or the dimensional weight. Dimensional weight is length times width times height in centimeters divided by 5000. Couriers typically round up to the next half kilogram.
From 1 July 2026 the EU removed the 150 euro duty-free de minimis, and a flat 3 euro interim customs duty applies per customs-declaration line, meaning per distinct tariff category, on consignments valued up to 150 euro, until the EU Customs Data Hub launches on 1 July 2028. A separate EU handling fee of about 2 euro is expected around November 2026, with the amount and date still to be confirmed.
CETA eliminates duties on most originating Canadian goods, but the goods must meet the CETA rules of origin and carry a valid origin declaration. Swedish VAT of 25 percent still applies regardless of CETA status, calculated on the CIF value plus any duty.

Information gain, from Jet Worldwide lane data: across the Canada-to-Sweden parcels Jet handled in the last 12 months, about [JET-PROPRIETARY-PERCENT]% were billed on dimensional rather than actual weight, and the most common avoidable delay was an incomplete origin declaration on a CETA claim rather than the new parcel duty.
