Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Customs Broker?
+
Importers who do not wish to transact with Canada Border Services (CBSA) directly may appoint a customs broker to do so on their behalf. A Customs Broker primarily assist in the release and accounting of goods imported to Canada as well as ensures accuracy and compliance with CBSA regulations. In Short, a Customs Broker will save you time and money.
Do I need an Importer number to clear customs?
+
While it is not mandatory to have an importer number to clear customs, it is highly recommended. As a commercial importer (importing for a business), you should have a GST number to collect and remit taxes. With this number, we can activate your Importer number for a minimal fee. For personal imports, an importer number is not required.
Are there any benefits to importing commercially over personally?
+
Absolutely. As a personal importer, you are subject to both Federal and Provincial tax and have no recourse to claim said taxes. As a commercial importer, you are only subject to Federal Tax, and may reclaim it through input tax credits.
I own a company that ships frequently to Canada, Can i handle the imports for my Canadian clients?
+
Yes, you would be a perfect candidate for the Non-Resident Importer (NRI) program.

+
Yes, but you must ask your agent beforehand. If you would like to review your entries before submitted to customs, simply inform your agent of this and copies of your B3 and invoice will be forwarded to you prior to release.
If I spot an error, can it be corrected?
+
Absolutely, if you see an error on your B3 or invoice, or would like to have your goods processed under a different HS code, an amendment can be made instantly within the first 72 hours of submitting your entry. After 72 hours, we will have to file a claim on your behalf.
How Long does a customs clearance take?
+

This depends:

For truck shipments, the customs clearance process is seamless. We use a pre-alert system with customs so that goods are cleared as the truck passes the border. We cannot process your customs request however, until transport has sent us the PARS manifest

For ocean shipments, we can begin to customs clear your goods as soon as the manifest arrives from your forwarder, however, goods must arrive at the port, be de-stuffed & on the warehouse floor before customs clearance is complete

For air shipments, the process is quite quick. With the airway bill, we can process your goods for customs before they even become available for delivery.

How do I pay for the duties, taxes or fees?
+
With Clearit.ca you can pay your bill online by either Visa, MasterCard or Interac Online. We also now accept Visa and MasterCard debit. Ask your agent for payment details.
