Canada Customs has taken steps to ease border-crossing formalities by simplifying customs and excise requirements. But hiring a customs broker is still the best way to ensure the smooth shipment of convention-related materials and equipment you plan to bring into Canada. Most customs brokers will advise you to notify Canada Customs as early as possible (preferably 6 months in advance of your event), and provide you with all the forms necessary for corresponding with customs authorities. The forms, which you must complete yourself, request information on your organization, plus the specifics of your convention and the goods you intend to bring into the country. Canada Customs will reply to you by letter, advising you of the procedures that will apply to your shipment. You should make sure that your Broker has a copy of the letter when he/she clears your goods at Customs. |
