Freight shipping into Canada, customs included
Truck, ship or plane: one request for the transport and the customs.
Customs rules change — confirm with the official sources on this page or with a licensed customs broker before you ship.
In short. CustomsHero passes freight requests into Canada, by truck from the U.S., by ocean from China, by air or door-to-door, to our partner, who quotes the transport and the customs clearance together. A request is free and commits you to nothing; every shipment is priced on its own, so no rates are published here.

Freight questions
Does CustomsHero move the goods?
No. CustomsHero is a free guide to importing into Canada. Your request goes to our partner, who quotes and handles the shipment. We may receive a referral fee if you become their client.
Is the quote free?
Yes. Asking for a quote costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Rates depend on the lane, the volume and the date, so every shipment is quoted on its own.
Can I keep my own customs broker?
Yes. In the form, answer "I already have a customs broker" and the quote covers the transport only. The forwarder then sends your broker what it needs to file the release.
Which mode should I choose?
It depends on how urgent, how big and how valuable the shipment is: truck for most freight from the U.S., ocean for larger volumes from overseas, air when time matters more than cost. Door-to-door adds pickup and delivery to any of them. If you are unsure, pick "Not sure" in the form.
