How To Avoid Paying DHL Customs Fees in Canada - Self Clearing Packages - Going Awesome Places
For most people that don’t know how, you’ll feel like you won’t have a choice but to pay. However, in order for self-clearing to work, you can’t pay the charges and you also can’t accept delivery. The thing is, once you’ve paid, you’ve contractually accepted the DHL customs fees and there’s no way to reverse it. If you’re with another courier like FedEx that loves to deliver and then drop the “you owe us money” surprise in the mail later, refuse the delivery if they attempt it.

Documents Needed for Customs Clearance & Temporary Admission | ...
Customs won’t release your goods until the applicable regulatory charges are paid. Decide upfront who pays –shipper or receiver – and use fast payment options. Poor or missing labels, especially for hazardous goods, cause delays. Follow all packaging rules and ensure labels are clear and correct. If customs authorities or DHL request additional information or documentation and don’t receive a timely reply, your shipment can be delayed, so always respond quickly to any queries.

r/dhl on Reddit: What if I don't pay the import taxes for a product I don't want anymore?
September 4, 2025 -
DHL states that I cannot refuse the shipment before the courier is at my door. But what if there's an import tax on an international shipment and I don't want the product anymore?
Should I just not pay it and wait for it to be sent back to the seller? How long is the holding time?

You still owe it to DHL they have paid it to the government on your behalf. They will send your dept to collections if you don’t pay what you owe.
