Hi Friends,

I wanted to learn if I order Mavic Air 2 and some accessories directly from the DJI store, will I be charged a custom duty in Canada?

I ordered an extra mini 2 battery straight from DJI and there were no extra charges. But it wasn't cheap.

When I ordered my Mini direct from the DJI store app there were no extra charges or taxes, just priced in US $.
I was disappointed to learn it was shipping from China when I thought it was coming from the US but in the end was not a problem as it arrived within five days.

Is there any benefit or advantage ordering direct from DJI? Got my mini from DJI on Amazon Prime Day and saved $150 on the FMC, but bought the mini 2 from a DJI dealer store in southern Alberta. Only reason I ordered a mini 2 battery direct from DJI was because there was no stock locally.

That, usually stock. Often on new products it's weeks for local dealers to get them.

DJI pay the customs themselves to you have nothing to pay on receipt.

If I recall correctly, I didn’t have to pay tax when buying from dji either.
