This is the process to follow when Importing or Exporting goods from Canada and the U.S.A with Hemisphere: Always indicate that “Hemisphere Freight & Brokerage”, is your broker, and to forward all documentation for clearance to them (please include phone & fax numbers). This will avoid any unnecessary delays. Show the correct values, currency of sale, description, and countries of origin. This will prevent incorrect duties being charged. Ensure all necessary documentation is available and legible. Copies should be held by you, your transportation company, and your Hemisphere representative. When your goods originate in Canada, U.S.A. or Mexico, have a valid USMCA/CUSMA certificate of origin completed, and on file. In the fields listing importer, and exporter names, make sure the tax number field is complete. (i.e. G.S.T. number for Canadian companies, I.R.S. number for U.S.) When shipping by ground transportation, use a carrier who is “PARS” capable (Pre-Arrival Release System) for shipments to Canada, or “PAPS” (Pre-Arrival Processing System) for shipments to the U.S. As a Canadian importer, you are required to keep records of your imports, whether hard copy, or digital for a period of six years. This will save you any hassles, should Customs decide to audit your company.
