Frequently asked

Customs Brokerage questions

What does a customs broker do in Canada?

A Canadian customs broker prepares and submits customs accounting information, communicates with the importer and government systems, and helps resolve documentation or admissibility issues. The importer remains responsible for the accuracy of information supplied and for duties and taxes.

What documents are commonly needed for commercial customs clearance?

Common documents include the commercial invoice, packing list, transportation document, importer information, tariff classification details, country of origin and any permits or certificates required for regulated goods.

Does customs clearance include freight delivery?

Not automatically. Customs clearance and transportation are separate services, but Port & Anchor can coordinate both when requested.
