Customs Forms Simplified.

New Online Tools for Easier International Shipping

Online Guide to Customs Forms

Use the online Guide to Customs Forms to learn about the different kinds of export documents that may be required for your international shipments. The online Guide to Custom Forms at fedex.ca provides an overview of some of the most commonly used customs documents.

The "How to Complete it Effectively" section for each form features an image of each form with interactive animated descriptions (see Fig. 1), highlighting areas of the form that shippers often have questions about or complete inaccurately or incorrectly.

The guide also includes information about duties and taxes, declared value, and temporary import bonds, as well as access to other international shipping and customs-related resources available at fedex.ca.
