FAQ



ANSWERS TO ALL
YOUR QUERIES

Why do I need a customs broker?


Customs brokers help simplify the process of moving products over the border.
While you don’t legally need a customs broker, there are many products that are
difficult to get over the border without the help of one. By using a customs
broker you can get your stuff over the border faster and with less hassle.

What is a customs broker and how can they help me?


A customs broker is a licensed individual or company that works closely with
border agents in other countries to make sure that goods being imported or
exported have met all requirements. A good customs broker will help you with the
paperwork and administration and will be available to answer questions on your
behalf


What is a customs clearance?


“Customs clearance” or “clearing customs” is a phrase we hear a lot in our
business. What it really means is the item that’s being imported or exported has
met a country’s requirements for entering or leaving its borders. Those
requirements vary from country to country and from one item to another. We can
help you “clear customs” fast, with less paperwork and fewer headaches.

What is a tariff code?


A Harmonized Tariff Code or HS Tariff Code is a list of all the classification
codes for goods that are being imported or exported. There are over 17,000
unique classification codes and each country has its own tariff schedule. Here
are the tariff schedules for both the USA and Canada.


What are your customs broker fees?


Our fees are variable based on the complexity of the import, frequency, value,
and other factors. Get a duty and tax estimate to learn more about our standard
rates, or contact us to discuss pricing tailored to your small or medium-sized
business, or our competitive enterprise rates.


What is an HS code? / How do I look up an HS code?


The Harmonized System is an international naming structure for the
classification of products. It allows participating countries to classify traded
goods on a common basis for customs purposes. At the international level, the
Harmonized System (HS) for classifying goods is a six-digit code system. You can
look up an HS code for shipments into Canada on the Canada Border Services
Agency’s webpage for Customs Tariff. For shipments into the United States, you
can use this list of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule to look up an HS code.

How do I import or ship a vehicle to Canada / USA?


When it comes to importing a vehicle to or from Canada or the US, we recommend
that you start by checking our Learning Center. Here you’ll find up-to-date
information and instructions on how to get started and what kind of specifics
and paperwork you’ll need. Specifically to import a vehicle into Canada from the
U.S., there’s a 6 step process that we outline in this helpful infographic as
well as The 5 Things You Need to do to Import a Car from The US to Canada.
