- corporeal movable property located in Québec (including property stored in Québec)
- corporeal movable property shipped from and delivered within Québec
- corporeal movable property shipped from outside Québec and delivered within Québec, other than by mail or courier
- suppliers not registered under the general QST system can use your specified distribution platform to make taxable supplies of the above corporeal movable property to people not registered under the general QST system (other than people not resident in Québec who do not consume the property)
