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.

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.

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 per local call and $4 per long-distance call applies regardless of the number of pages being faxed.

We may disburse any applicable duties, taxes and other regulatory charges on your behalf, to ensure timely payment to the customs agency. The payer is responsible for the total amount disbursed, plus an additional fee as published in the charges.
