CUSTOMS & IMPORT PROCESS
If you want to import commercial goods into Canada, you’ll need to get a Canadian business number from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), sign up for the Customs Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) portal, join the Import Program (RM) and the Release Prior to Payment (RPP) sub-program, and provide financial security through a cash deposit or surety bond. You’ll also need to appoint a licensed customs broker. SC Integrators can help you complete all of these steps efficiently to set things up quickly.
The position of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is that the importer, owner, or a licensed customs broker acting on their behalf are the only parties allowed to provide the accounting for commercial goods. An importer is considered to be the entity responsible for causing the goods to enter the country. As a result, it is generally not permitted in Canada for parties unrelated to an actual transaction to offer Importer of Record (IOR) services. However, as a licensed customs broker, SC Integrators can assist with the clearance of goods for registered importers who hold a Canadian Business Number.
For customs clearance of a specific shipment, the following documents are required at a minimum: a commercial invoice or Canada Customs Invoice, a packing list if available, a copy of the bill of lading, and eManifest, which is typically provided directly by the carrier. Depending on the nature of the shipment, a certificate of origin and other supplementary documentation may also be necessary.
Customs duties are usually charged as a percentage of the goods’ value, based on the customs tariff and country of origin. Most shipments also incur a 5% GST, except for some exemptions like basic food items. Certain goods may also face additional surtaxes or anti-dumping and countervailing duties.
If you already know your item’s HS code, simply note it on the commercial invoice. If not, we will recommend an HS code in the customs entry draft for your approval. For complex cases, you may need to seek an Advance ruling from customs, which provides a 10-digit tariff classification for imported goods along with an explanation of its selection.
