At your request, FedEx will submit an Entry Adjustment to Customs to correct an entry on any previous information you had provided. This may result in a reimbursement of an overpayment of Duty/Tax or may result in an additional Duty/Tax amount owed to Customs, as well as a fee from FedEx.

The fee or fees are applied when documentation needs to be verified or an identity check has to be done by a government agency; however, fees can also be received by several agencies for the same shipment, such as local councils or commercial agencies. FedEx will pass on the charges received from all external agencies. Local Note: 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.

A fee applies when we correct an error on your entry documents for a courier low-value shipment (valued at less than $3,300 CAD), on your behalf. The error must be reported on or before the 20th of the month following the shipping date; otherwise, a post-entry adjustment is required.

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.

The fee that FedEx will charge to compensate FedEx for operating a direct payment process allowing release of shipments and payment of Customs charges for customers who do not have a FedEx account number. Local Note: This fee is also charged to customers with poor payment history.

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.
