Updated January 2026 — All New Shipping Info & Tariff Rules
This guide has been fully updated as of May 2026. Previously, Canadian customers had three shipping options — now only one remains: Global Air with Tracking, which uses Asendia or Landmark Global. Also, starting March 2025, Canada imposed a 25% tariff on select U.S. goods, including coffee and cosmetics. Some of these tariffs are already included in the iHerb prices — you won’t have to pay anything extra at delivery.
Let’s walk through everything you need to know when ordering from iHerb in Canada.
A Little About iHerb Canada
The store has been delivering to Canada for over 15 years. The official website is located at ca.iherb.com. To open the official site in English with Canadian dollar pricing, simply follow the link. Alternatively, you can select your country and currency manually. We’ve shown how to do this in a screenshot.
iHerb Canada Free Shipping
iHerb offers free shipping to Canada on orders of at least CA$55.00. There are currently no free shipping coupons available, as the store hasn’t offered them for several years. However, you can still reduce the total cost of your order by applying an iHerb promo code Canada — for example, the universal code PJZ7818, which gives you 10% off your entire cart and works in Canada and worldwide.If you want to place a smaller order, a CA$5.00 shipping fee will apply.
Shipping Methods to Canada
What’s Changed in 2026?
When we first published this article, iHerb offered three shipping methods to Canada:
- Global Air with Tracking
- Purolator – DDP
- DHL Express – DDP
As of 2026, only one shipping method remains:
Global Air with Tracking (Now the Only Option)
iHerb automatically selects one of the two carriers based on your region:
- Asendia
- Landmark Global
Details:
- 💰 Free shipping on orders over CA$55
- 📦 Fully trackable
- ⏱ Estimated delivery time: 5–6 business days
- 🧾 Taxes and duties included at checkout (Delivered Duties Paid)
You no longer need to worry about customs clearance delays or paying anything upon delivery — iHerb handles it upfront.
PO Box Warning
Due to possible Canada Post strikes, deliveries to P.O. Boxes may be delayed. We recommend shipping to a regular street address during this period for the best experience.
Important: All duties, taxes, and import fees are collected by iHerb upfront during checkout to speed up customs clearance. You won’t need to pay anything upon delivery!
IHerb Canada Duties in 2026
If your order exceeds CA$40, be prepared to pay taxes (GST/HST/PST). If the order value exceeds CA$150, duties will be added on top of the taxes.
Important: These limits do not include shipping costs. Only the cost of the goods counts toward the limit.
Example: You placed an order for CA$160.
- You’ll pay taxes (GST/HST/PST) because the amount exceeds CA$40.
- You’ll pay duties because the amount exceeds CA$150.
Tip: To avoid extra expenses, try to keep your orders under CA$40 to avoid taxes, or under CA$150 to avoid duties.
New 25% Canadian Tariffs on US Goods
As of March 4, 2025, the Canadian government imposed a 25% tariff on certain U.S. products. Some of these items are sold on iHerb, and the extra cost is now included in their Canadian prices.
Example: Coffee with Tariff Included
Product: Mount Hagen Organic Instant Decaf Coffee, 100g
- 🇺🇸 U.S. Price: $11.86 USD
- Converted to CAD: ~CA$16.13
- 🇨🇦 iHerb Canada Price: CA$20.46
Difference: ~26.8% — this matches the 25% tariff, which is already included in the price you see.
Do You Need to Pay Anything Extra?
No.
If the product is subject to a 25% tariff, iHerb includes it automatically in the Canadian price. You will not be charged anything else at the door or by customs.
Other Items Likely Affected by the Tariff:
- ☕ Coffee
- 💄 Cosmetics
- 🍊 Orange juice
- 🥜 Peanut butter
- 🍷 Alcohol (rare on iHerb)
