The Chinese company probably has the volume of China->US business to make customs pre-clearance and duties/tariffs a done deal. The Canada->US company probably doesn’t, or hasn’t bothered yet. So that Canada package if you look at the tracking history probably sat in a customs warehouse for better part of a week. The China package was precleared through customs probably before it left for the airport.
