Prior to having your shipment is picked up by our carrier, you will dirst determine how your shipment will be customs cleared when it arrives at the Canadian border.   As a general rule, "truck" freight (shipments typically over 150 lbs. or on a pallet) will need to be customs-cleared by a certified Canadian customs broker.   There are many qualified customs brokerages in Canada that will represent you 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 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.   Most international courier companies generally have in-house customs to quickly clear international shipment while they are moving.

One of the primary documents you will need with either shipping method is a commercial invoice. This defines (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.
