Customs Handoff for International Cargo
Clarify who prepares documents and who acts at the destination border.
Identify the importer
The consignee, importer and customs broker may be different parties. Confirm their roles and contact details before cargo departs.
Prepare consistent records
Descriptions, quantities, values, piece counts and addresses should agree across the invoice, packing list and transport instructions.
Check official requirements
Rules differ by goods and destination and can change. Use the official Canadian export links on our resources page and confirm the destination authority’s current import requirements.
