The receiver doesn't charge you anything except for the storage fee, which depending on the item/receiving company you use, is usually under $5 (also depending on weight/size). You do not have to pay the receiving company tax for the value of your item.

Even if the item is made in China and shipped from China? So when it enters the US from China, no duties/taxes are imposed on the item?
"Im just scared they are going to charge me tax and duty twice... For example, lets say TSB Shipping tells me they got charged brokerage fees and taxes/duties from Fedex then I would have to pay the charges to pick the item up from TSB Shipping. Then when I am crossing the border, I am importing it into Canada and I would have to pay again O.o"
Unless importing stuff from China into the US has no charges? Or does it work differently because it is a receiving company?
