These requirements vary from country to country and from one item to another. Missing or incomplete paperwork and improper tariff classifications are common reasons for shipment delays at the border.
BorderBuddy can help you “clear customs” fast, with less paperwork and fewer headaches.
Identify the country of origin and the manufacturer of the item you plan to export or import. Canada has a range of goods over which it imposes import controls. The Import Control List (ICL) of the Export and Import Permits Act lists these goods.
Ensure your business is registered for import/export activities.
Do you have an import/export license? Be sure to complete the registration and licensing requirements with municipal, provincial, and federal government agencies.
Before you can import into Canada, you must obtain an import/export account (commonly referred to as an import/export license). To do that, you must complete several registration and licensing requirements with municipal, provincial, and federal governments early in the process.
Since Canada is officially bilingual, shipments must be labeled in both English and French.
