Every cross-border shipment must be cleared by local customs authorities prior to being exported or imported. In Canada, CBSA will review all incoming and outgoing shipments of goods to ensure they meet all local regulations. Your shipments can encounter regulatory reviews by as many as 12 government agencies. Depending on the commodity, origin, quality of paperwork, and many other factors, your goods can either sail through the border with ease or they can be delayed or held.
