It appears to be a standard selection when shipping via the major US freight forwarders to have, when selected, a Canadian Customs invoice printed as the shipment is being confirmed, if the shipment is destined for Canada.

Can someone please tell me how I can order a printed set of the D-Memorandum (Canadian Customs Regulations)? I can find them online and there are online links to order forms and publications, but none of the links work to order the D-Memorandum. Thanks!
We have truck shipments going into Canada directly to our customers, where our Canadian division is listed as the importer of record.

I did some research on-line and found nothing specifically relating to the term FAB. By […]

Is an importer allowed to designate only one Customs Broker? Can a regular broker clear courier shipments (UPS, DHL, etc) into Canada? If anyone can share Compliance […]
For Canada, the Customs Act breaks out required corrections by duty due, revenue neutral and refunds, and then limits the data elements for corrections to a handful of issues. What are considered best practices in this area? If you were audited by CBSA wouldn’t you want to show that you’ve addressed all issues? Is there […]
