Due to the complexity of customs regulations for different types of goods, we advise all of our customers to consult a customs broker to ensure required paperwork is in order before attempting to ship across the border. As a general rule, you will need both a commercial invoice and a bill of lading for freight crossing the border. The commercial invoice must have the name of the shipper and consignee, a description of the goods being shipped, the location of manufacture of the goods, and the value of the goods. Bill of lading and customs invoice documents are available as downloadable documents on our web site.
Kindersley Transport takes the headaches out of cross-border shipping of commercial goods. We have the experience to avoid border snarls and ensure your freight moves smoothly to its destination. We use the Pre-Arrival Review System (PARS) to ensure all clearance procedures are complete before your shipment reaches the border to prevent long, aggravating delays.

Kindersley Transport Ltd. is not a broker or a freight forwarder, so we cannot provide these services. U.S. to Canada The Canadian importer or purchaser may use a Canadian customs broker. The shipper should identify the broker or the party acting as broker on the bill of lading.
The shipper must contact the forwarding agent and/or customs broker to set up an account. The parties need to agree on the services to be provided, the fees, and set up payment or credit terms before shipping. If a customer fails to complete this step, delays will occur at both the Canadian and U.S. borders. When the relationship has been established, all parties must be informed as to which forwarding agent and customs broker are designated to process each shipment. This should be completed prior to pickup of the shipment.
Typically, the importer is billed by the broker for duty and taxes. The customs broker determines duty (if applicable) along with taxes and reports the charges to customs on behalf of the client.
