      Shipping Freight to Canada: What You Need to Know

      Shipping goods to Canada? Here's a breakdown of the essentials:

       

      1. Customs Broker

      A customs broker is crucial for navigating import regulations and ensuring smooth clearance. Don't have one?- Contact Us and we'll connect you with an experienced broker.

      2. Documentation

      • Bill of Lading (BOL): This essential document acts as a contract between the shipper and carrier. It includes details about the shipment, such as origin, destination, and contents. You can access and download your BOL through your portal.
      • Canada Customs Invoice: This specialized invoice requires more detailed information than a standard commercial invoice. You can download a sample here- Canada Customs Invoice
