| I working with a customer from Canada on a order, this will be the first time
for me shipping outside EU, so I have a question;
- Will BL take care/include of any tax/import duties during ordering process
and will BL include this in their monthly fee?

No. There’s no Canadian law (yet…) that would make BL collect taxes and duties
from Canadian buyers.
The buyer will pay the duties at reception, to the delivery/postal services.
You, as a seller, are not responsible for those.

Nope.
When BL collects taxes (for instance from US buyers in your case), the BL fee
isn’t impacted. The tax is added to what the buyer has to pay, and then automatically
collected before it arrives on your PayPal or Stripe account. It appears as
a “partner fee” in the transaction and you pay PayPal or Stripe fee on it but
that’s all.

Thanks for the quick answers!
In case shipping would be to USA then tax/duties would automatically be added/collected
as you described as partner fee.
Last year I stopped selling to UK because of Brexit worries. Would selling from
EU to UK be similar to selling to Canada or USA? I see posts mentioning (mayor)
problems with customs.

To UK, it would be like USA… except that the payment of UK VAT is checked by
customs (it’s not for US Sales Tax but sales taxes are not federal), so you need
to give BL’s IOSS number (there’s a field in the new CN22A for that) and attach
the invoice BL will give you.

You need to fill out custom documents (CN23).
HS code: 9503.00
Description: Lego plastic toys
Quantity of item: 1
Value of item: for example 100 Euro (do not include shipping costs)
If you ship with PostNL, When the package arrives in Canada, custom officers
"may" charge the buyer 12% (* 100 Euro) + $9.95 CAD . In general they are busy
and let Toys go wiwthout any charge. By my experience, the change they charge
custom fees increase if
- the value of package is high
- the size of package
- the if package has full tracking (vs. no tracking)

It is normally CN22.
CN23 instead of CN23 is required only if the package is above 2kg and/or the
value exceeds.. I do not remember the exact amount. I think it is over 400 EUR
or something. Best to call your post office and ask.
DO NOT FILL CN23 "JUST IN CASE".
If the package lands into the hands of someone who does not know or simply could
not care less - your buyer may be hit by extraordinary exuberant processing fees,
several times higher compared to what they are for packages with CN22.
