Usually they are a combination of the handling fee paid to customs brokers to do the import paperwork, duty on the merchandise, GST and or PST when custom shipped via a shipping company or courier. I ordered the inflatable boat in my avatar and did not consider the way it was shipped and the so called brokerage fees were almost $400 on a $1600 purchase! However, that is a large purchase both in size and in dollars and I did not check on the way they were going to ship it in advance so my bad. I have heard USPS has no fees and many vendors will know how to ship without incurring the purchaser any extra fees.
