At Trufulfillment, we provide reliable customs clearance services for ocean, air, and truck freight at all major ports across Canada. Since 2023, a customs bond has become mandatory for all importers — and we’re here to help you meet this requirement with competitive rates and expert support. From full-service customs brokerage to consulting, HTS classification, duty drawback, and final-mile delivery, our experienced team ensures a seamless and stress-free import process tailored to your business needs.
Truck Shipment
Clearing Truck Freight Through Trufulfillment’s Canadian Customs Broker is Simple and Efficient
Working with True Fulfillment to clear your truck shipments through Canadian customs is quick and straightforward. All we need from you are a few basic details:
-
The type of product being imported
-
The materials the product is made of
-
The amount paid for the goods
The remaining information required for customs clearance is provided directly by the terminal. As your truck approaches the border, the carrier will send the Bill of Lading along with PARS (Pre-Arrival Review System) details via email or fax. This PARS information typically includes:
-
The weight of the shipment
-
The port of crossing
-
The estimated time of crossing
-
The PARS number
With these details, our experienced customs brokerage team will take care of the rest — ensuring a smooth and timely clearance process at the border.
Ocean Shipment
Hassle-Free Ocean Freight Clearance with Trufulfillment
Just like with truck freight, clearing ocean shipments through Canadian customs with Trufulfillment is simple. You only need to prepare the following documents:
-
CI (Commercial Invoice)
-
PL (Packing List)
-
CO (Certificate of Origin)
However, please note that ocean freight clearance typically takes longer than other modes of transport. On average, there is a delay of about 48 hours after vessel arrival before the shipment is ready for customs processing.
This delay occurs because the cargo must first be unloaded from the vessel and transferred to a bonded warehouse before Canadian customs brokers can begin the clearance process.
Our experienced team will manage this entire process for you, ensuring timely updates and smooth coordination every step of the way.
Air Shipment
Fast and Efficient Air Freight Clearance with Trufulfillment
Air freight clearance in Canada is similar to ocean freight but much faster and more streamlined. Once the cargo is unloaded from the aircraft, it is typically ready for customs processing within a short period of time.
To clear air shipments, please prepare the following documents:
-
CI (Commercial Invoice)
-
PL (Packing List)
-
Air Waybill (AWB)
As soon as the cargo is offloaded and these documents are submitted, our customs brokers can begin the clearance process immediately — ensuring a smooth and expedited entry into Canada.
With True Fulfillment, you can count on a quick turnaround and reliable support every step of the way.
