This famous city known for the its nightlife and colourful Beale street restaurants exports much more than just music.   In fact, shipping from Memphis, TN to Canada is a bi-weeky consolidation point for ShipCanada for LTL of all kinds.

The largest export classes for freight destined for Canada from this region include medical equipment, motor vehicles & technology related products.   As a testament to its strategic location, this city was chosen as the headquarters for Federal Express and acts as a national distribution hub for some of America's largest corporations.   ShipCanada primarily services the LTL & specialize equipment shipping market, however we have full capability when it comes to large package cargo.

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.

One of the documents you will require 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.
