Canadian shipments Retrieve rates including Duties and Taxes

Fedex API allows you to retrieve Duties and Taxes associated to shipments going to Canada, please be sure to check the documentation and talk to your Fedex representative to make sure you have the right information.

Below is an example of how to pass Customs Clearance Information(I strongly recommended you to validate your results and work with a Fedex rep to make sure your charges are accurate).
