Canadian Customs Information
Your shipments to Canada must clear Canadian customs before moving to their final destination, a maze that can stall your supply chain. The process is particularly cumbersome if you are not familiar with international freight forwarding and customs regulations.
Fortunately, you can expedite clearance and increase visibility of your shipment by hiring a customs brokerage service. In fact, most of the more than 227,000 importers the Canada Border Services Agency deals with each year rely on the services of a licensed customs broker to get their shipments cleared at the border.
A brokerage service will pull together all the documentation you need, covering everything from country of origin and destinations, to suppliers, tariff classifications, routings and intended use.
