Before your cargo is transported you will need to decide how your freight or package(s) will be cleared by customs when it arrives at the Canadian border. As a general rule, freight shipments (typically over 150 lbs. or on a pallet) will need to be represented by a certified Canadian customs broker on arrival. There are hundreds of qualified customs brokerages in Canada that will represent your company and the cost can range from $50-200 per clearance. Visit our Customs Tracking page to see a few of the brokerages listed.

If your shipment is less than 150 lbs. and not on a pallet (i.e. travelling by courier service), the customs will likely be done by the courier. Large courier companies generally have in-house customs to quickly clear international shipment while they are in transit.

If your shipment is under the 150 lbs. threshhold - and not on a skid or crate (i.e. travelling by courier), the customs will likely be done by the courier in transit. Large courier companies generally have in-house customs to quickly clear international shipment while they are moving.

One of the main documents you will need with either shipping method is a commercial invoice. This outlines (at a minimum) the Seller, the Buyer, the Value & currency used, the product description (ideally with the an H.S. code) and the quantity of the item being exported. You will need to make (3) copies of this document and provide it to the driver upon pickup. If your shipment arrives at the border with the Commercial invoice it will be refused entry.
