FedEx can provide clearance of shipments containing multiple commodities, however; an Additional Line Item Fee is applied to assign multiple tariff classifications. A shipment may incur this charge if: 1) it includes multiple tariff classifications above the stated "Free Lines" listed in the charges section; or 2) an identical commodity was manufactured in more than one country; or 3) multiple Commercial Invoices tendered to customs requires an individual Tariff classification for each invoice; or 4) you request a separate line entry for each item in the shipment.

FedEx may assess a storage charge if your shipment remains uncleared in the FedEx facility within the time limit published in the charges section.

A fee applies if we file an amendment with Customs in order to correct inaccurate duty-and-tax information on your entry documents. This fee also applies to voluntary entry amendments

Some commodities are regulated and controlled by separate local government agencies and are subject to specific clearance processes. To expedite the clearance of your shipment FedEx will provide the brokerage processing necessary to file the required information (paper or electronic) with the respective Regulatory Agency. FedEx will invoice you a fixed processing fee for this work.

By obtaining an account security number from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), you can maintain a direct billing and payment relationship with CBSA for duties and taxes. This also enables CBSA to send a K84 Summary that lists duties and taxes directly to the importer of record. If FedEx performs the customs release and the importer uses an external broker for confirmation, the fee for high-value shipments (shipments valued at $3,300 CAD or more) is $3 CAD. If FedEx performs the confirmation only, the fee is $7 CAD for all shipments. If FedEx performs the release and the confirmation, the fee is $10 CAD.

At your request, we will provide customs clearance after normal business hours. A per shipment fee will apply when outside of normal business hours, including Saturdays, or when an external broker requests customs documentation from us in order to facilitate clearance.

A business registration number is required in order to import into Canada. If you don't have one, FedEx can, if requested, file an application with the CBSA on your behalf.

When a party other than FedEx performs customs clearance, we will forward the entry documents via fax provided one of the following applies: You have your own internal brokerage department performing customs clearance. You are using an external broker, and the broker has one central location in Canada. You are using your account-security number and performing clearance-confirmation yourself. The fee of $3 CAD per local call and $4 CAD per long-distance call applies regardless of the number of pages being faxed.

Import Permits may be required in many countries to import certain goods or products into the local commerce. A fee is assessed for the Permit and or the cost o preparing and filing the Permit application to obtain the Import Permit.

If FedEx is clearing a low-value shipment (a shipment valued at less than $3,300 CAD) on your behalf through customs, we will, on request, provide you with copies of all clearance documentation at the time of duty-and-tax invoicing.

A fee applies when on your behalf, we correct an error on your entry documents for a low-value shipment valued at less than $3,300 CAD. The error must be identified on or before the 20th of the month following the shipping date. If the error is identified after the 20th of the following month, the correction must be processed as a duty-and-tax claim.

Under CBSA regulations, shipments valued at less than $3,300 CAD are automatically released through customs. However, you can request a formal customs release prior to delivery.

When you request shipments to be imported on a temporary basis for a specified time, FedEx may coordinate the importation process by advising, preparing and filing the required documents as specified by Customs.

At your request FedEx can prepare the necessary documents to move inbound shipments from their point of arrival to another location for customs clearance. We will obtain the approval from Customs that will allow the goods to move between the two locations prior to clearance. FedEx will charge a fee for the document preparation. The consignee will be responsible for any additional freight charges.

Charged to customers with no acct number or poor payment history for collection at time of delivery.

In the event we disburse duties and taxes on any given shipment to a customs agency, the payer will be assessed an ancillary clearance service fee based on a flat rate or on a percentage of the total amount disbursed.
