Customs Brokerage

We provide customs brokerage support for commercial imports entering Canada, handling the customs process with accuracy, compliance, and attention to detail. Our services include preparing and submitting import declarations, reviewing commercial invoices and shipping documents, calculating applicable duties and taxes, and coordinating with carriers and freight partners to support smooth cargo release through the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).

We take a proactive, compliance-focused approach to customs clearance by reviewing documentation before submission to help reduce delays, examinations, penalties, and classification issues. Whether the shipment is moving by ocean, air, or land, we work to ensure each entry is processed efficiently and in accordance with Canadian import regulations.

Land Transport Support

We coordinate with trucking companies, carriers, and freight partners to support inland transportation after customs release. Once cargo has been cleared by customs, efficient delivery coordination becomes essential to keeping shipments moving on schedule across Canada.

Our role includes helping facilitate communication between parties involved in the shipment process, reviewing release status, and supporting smooth transitions between customs clearance and inland transportation. Whether shipments are moving locally or across provinces, we help support efficient post-clearance logistics coordination.

Sea Freight Imports

We assist importers with customs clearance for ocean freight shipments arriving through Canadian ports. Our team reviews commercial documents, bills of lading, cargo details, and shipment information before vessel arrival to help ensure documentation is complete and compliant prior to customs submission.

Ocean freight shipments often involve multiple parties, timelines, and regulatory requirements. We coordinate with freight forwarders, shipping lines, terminals, and carriers to support efficient release procedures and minimize unnecessary delays at port. From full container loads (FCL) to less-than-container-load (LCL) shipments, we help facilitate a smoother import process from arrival to release.

Logistics Coordination

We help importers coordinate the different moving parts involved in the import process, including customs clearance, shipping documentation, carriers, and delivery timelines. Effective logistics coordination can help reduce delays, improve communication between parties, and provide better visibility throughout the shipment process.

By working closely with importers, freight forwarders, warehouses, and transportation providers, we help ensure documentation and shipment information remain aligned from arrival through final delivery coordination. Our goal is to support a smoother and more organized import experience for our clients.

Air Freight Imports

We support time-sensitive air freight imports with efficient customs clearance coordination and detailed document review. Air shipments often require fast turnaround and accurate information, so we work closely with importers, carriers, and freight partners to help ensure customs documentation is prepared correctly and submitted on time.

Our team assists with reviewing commercial invoices, airway bills, cargo details, and applicable import requirements before arrival to reduce the risk of delays or customs holds. Whether the shipment involves urgent inventory, commercial products, or specialized cargo, we help facilitate a streamlined customs clearance process for air imports into Canada.

Warehousing & Storage Coordination

When temporary storage or warehousing is required, we help coordinate with warehouses and logistics providers to support smooth cargo handling after customs clearance. Storage requirements may arise due to delivery scheduling, inspections, inventory planning, or transportation arrangements.

We assist in coordinating communication between relevant parties to help ensure shipments are handled efficiently during the post-clearance process. Whether short-term storage or additional logistics support is needed, we work to help importers maintain continuity and minimize disruptions within their supply chain.

Import Clearance

We manage the full import clearance process with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), ensuring your goods are released quickly, accurately, and in full compliance with Canadian regulations.

This includes:

  • Electronic submission of customs entries (B3 / CARM system)

  • Duty and tax calculation (GST/HST, duties, surtaxes)

  • Coordination with freight forwarders and carriers

  • Release prior to arrival (RPA) when applicable

  • Handling inspections, holds, and CBSA queries

What you should know

  • Incorrect declarations can result in delays, penalties, or audits

  • Timing matters — clearance errors can disrupt your entire supply chain

  • Documentation accuracy directly impacts release speed

Value we bring

  • Faster clearance → reduced storage and demurrage costs

  • Reduced compliance risk → avoid AMPS penalties

  • End-to-end handling → no back-and-forth between multiple parties

Why it’s unique
We don’t just “submit entries.” We proactively review your shipment before submission to prevent issues before they happen — not after CBSA flags them.

Tariff Classification

We determine the correct HS (Harmonized System) classification for your goods under Canadian tariff rules.

This includes:

  • HS code determination (up to 10-digit Canadian tariff level)

  • Interpretation of tariff schedules and explanatory notes

  • Classification rulings and documentation support

  • Product-specific analysis (materials, function, composition)

What you should know

  • HS classification drives duty rates, taxes, and admissibility

  • Misclassification can lead to retroactive reassessments and penalties

  • Some goods may qualify for preferential duty under trade agreements

Value we bring

  • Optimize duty costs (avoid overpaying)

  • Reduce audit exposure

  • Ensure consistent classification across shipments

Why it’s unique
We take a defensible classification approach — meaning every code we assign can stand up to CBSA audit scrutiny, not just “best guess” coding.

Trade Compliance Support

We help businesses build and maintain a compliant import operation aligned with Canadian trade laws.

This includes:

  • Compliance audits and risk assessments

  • CARM account setup and advisory

  • Duty drawback and refund opportunities

  • Trade agreement qualification (e.g., CUSMA/USMCA)

  • Internal SOP and compliance process design

What you should know

  • Compliance is ongoing — not a one-time setup

  • CBSA audits can go back several years

  • Proper systems can significantly reduce risk and cost

Value we bring

  • Prevent costly penalties and reassessments

  • Improve internal efficiency and documentation flow

  • Identify cost-saving opportunities (duty relief programs)

Why it’s unique
We bridge the gap between operations and regulation — not just advising, but helping you implement practical, working compliance processes.

Documentation Review

We review all import-related documents before submission to ensure accuracy, completeness, and consistency.

This includes:

  • Commercial invoices validation

  • Packing lists and bill of lading checks

  • HS code and valuation alignment

  • Country of origin verification

  • PGA (Participating Government Agencies) requirements if applicable

What you should know

  • Most customs issues originate from document errors

  • Even small inconsistencies can trigger inspections or delays

  • Documentation must align across all parties (supplier, broker, carrier)

Value we bring

  • Minimize clearance delays

  • Reduce CBSA inquiries and holds

  • Improve shipment predictability

Why it’s unique
We act as a pre-clearance checkpoint, catching issues before they reach customs — saving time, cost, and operational stress.
