When it comes to international trade, no country has
more to offer than Canada. Literally. Canada, after all, is
the U.S.’s largest trading partner, with $1.6 billion worth
of trade moving between our nations daily. Canada also
has a GDP of $1.7 trillion and industries as diverse as
automotive, aerospace, mining and renewable energy.
Yet for all this opportunity, Canada is still another
country. It has its own laws and regulations that
must be followed, and that’s where UPS can make
all the difference.
UPS is one of the world’s largest customs brokers.
We know the ins and outs of getting your product to
customers in Canada because we’ve been there for 40
years. Our extensive network in trade management and
import/export technologies allows us to reach every part
of Canada, including the far reaches of the territories.
When you team with UPS, you not only get a company
that can deliver your shipments; you get a partner that
can assist you with any details or questions that can
come up along the way.
Let this guide be your playbook for building up or
expanding your supply chain and distribution network
in Canada. You’ll find all the information and resources
you need to help cover the finer nuances of bringing
your business north. Best of all, know that you’re not
alone in this endeavor. When you choose UPS, you get
the best and most frequent transit times and a global
logistics provider.

metaphor, UPS is to delivery
as the power play is to hockey.
In other words, the numbers are in your favor. You see, with UPS, you get an expansive network that has more options

speeds up the customs clearance process by transmitting data electronically. And there’s also our UPS Quantum View®
suite of services, which provides a detailed flow of tracking information, so that your shipments never seem out of reach.
In fact, regardless of your company’s specific needs, chances are UPS can help create the perfect solution.

Canada Guide: Regions & Industries
Contrary to what you may
have heard, lumberjacks,
hockey sticks and snow are
not Canada’s chief exports.
Canada’s exports do not fit a stereotype any more than those of the United States do. What this means for you is opportunity
because, similar to the U.S., Canada is vast, regional and has a huge variety of industries and needs. At UPS, we know how
to help businesses gain a strong foothold and flourish in Canada because we have been helping companies succeed in
getting there for 40 years. We know where the best opportunities lie for everything from high tech to professional services
to industrial manufacturing. And to help you put this knowledge to use, we’ve teamed up with the U.S. Commercial Service
(part of the International Trade Administration) to provide assistance in finding the customers and developing the export
strategies best suited for your business. Canada is, after all, a diverse country where you can find the market or niche that
is just right for your company’s needs.

Canada Guide: Cultural Insights
How great is this? Canada has
a holiday devoted to boxes.
Boxing Day is December 26th, a national holiday in Canada and not a time to do normal shipping. The name comes from the
old tradition of servants being given Christmas boxes by their employers, filled with things to share with their own families
on the day after Christmas. Today, it’s more about shopping and watching hockey, but knowing about it and the topics below
could make a big difference in building relationships with your future Canadian business associates.
Canadian Thanksgiving
Technology Triangle
Multiculturalism
October: Now this is the perfect month to
celebrate Thanksgiving.
Where do Canada’s best technology minds go
when they have a brilliant idea?
Did you hear the one about the Canadian,
the Canadian and the Canadian?
Canadians love to celebrate Thanksgiving as much as we
do. Only they do it earlier. Thanksgiving in Canada falls
on the second Monday in October and it’s as much of a
holiday there as it is here. Most people have the day off
from work, schools are empty and no one is expecting
to receive or send a shipment. So when the second
Monday in October rolls around, be sure to wish your
Canadian colleagues a happy day and save your delivery
expectations for Tuesday.
Just as we have our Silicon Valley, Canada has its own
hub of technology industries dubbed the Technology
Triangle. Centered around the cities of Waterloo, Ottawa
and Toronto, it is a hotbed for new ideas, start-ups
and highly educated talent. Also called the Ontario
Technology Corridor, this area is in a province that
generates 37% of Canada’s GDP. It’s the perfect region
to start in if you are looking to expand a tech business
or cater to a cosmopolitan workforce.
This is no joke: Canada embraces its multicultural
population. Regardless of ethnicity or background,
the people of Canada are united in one aspect: they all
proudly consider themselves and each other to be true
Canadians. This makes Canada one of the warmest places
to do business (despite what the thermometer says). From
having both English and French as official languages
countrywide to hosting the biggest Caribbean festival
outside the Caribbean, Canada is truly the sum of its
diverse parts.
Rest days are Saturday, Sunday and official holidays.

We share many common values and the longest undefended border with our neighbor to the north. Alas, this does not
give us a free pass on the usual import/export paperwork and rules. Fortunately, when UPS is a part of your team, these
logistics can become easier. Use the information below to access everything you need, from essential paperwork to unique
customs information, but also know we are available to answer any specific questions. After all, when you choose UPS to
be your shipping partner, our expertise becomes your expertise.
Prohibited or Restricted Commodities
Unique Customs Info
In addition to the commodities that UPS prohibits to all countries
served (listed here), it is prohibited to ship the following
commodities to Canada.
Canada Customs assesses and collects tariffs. Because the U.S. is a
member of the World Trade Organization, imports from the United
States are assessed at the Most-Favored Nation (MFN) rate.
•Baby Walkers
•Paintball Markers and Air Soft Guns
•Personal Effects
•Products Made in Iran
Import Value Limits to Canada:
•In most cases, when the value of the shipment is equal to or less
than the de minimis value of US $20, the shipment may enter
the country duty and tax free. This means there is no extra cost
to the shipper or consignee; a broker is not required.
•When you know and understand de minimis value, you can plan
accordingly (always within the guidelines and regulations). For
example, a strategy of making smaller, more frequent shipments
might enable your shipments to have a de minimus value of
US $20 or less. In such a case, customers’ needs could be met
efficiently due to a streamlined entry and tax exemption. Just
be sure to research your own particular product, as not all
commodities are subject to de minimis even though they may
be under US $20 in value.
Complete list of prohibited items to Canada here.
UPS Paperless® Invoice simplifies your paperwork by eliminating
the need for paper commercial invoices. It allows you to integrate
order and shipment processing electronically, and it reduces
customs holds by streamlining the customs clearance process
through transmitting information digitally.
Learn more about UPS Paperless® Invoice here.
Special Clearance Requirements:
•Repair and Warranty
•Solid Wood Packing Material
Shipments
•USDA Inspections
Find details and search Special Clearance Requirements here.
Declared Value
When you ship with UPS, all domestic and international shipments
and all pallets in a UPS Worldwide Express Freight shipment
automatically have Declared Value of up to US $100. Should the
value of your goods exceed that amount, you can declare a value
of up to US $50,000 per package or US $100,000 per pallet for an
additional charge on most shipments.
Learn more about Declared Value here.
NAFTA Information
Tariffs and quotas were eliminated on most products made in the
U.S., Mexico and Canada under the North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA). This created competitive advantages by
enabling companies to lower costs by spreading production lines
across the three countries. NAFTA is credited with the increased
development of global supply chains in industries as diverse as auto
manufacturing, electronics, machinery and appliances. Thanks in part
to NAFTA, Canada was the top purchaser of U.S. exports in 2013. If
your product qualifies, use the “NAFTA Certificate of Origin” form.

to Canada, visit here.

UPS Billing Terms
UPS offers a variety of billing options to fit your business:
Options
•Charges can be billed to the shipper, receiver
or a third-party payor.
•Charges for international shipping typically
include freight, duties and taxes.
•Customers using UPS’s automated shipping systems can choose
to have the shipping charges billed to one party and duties
and taxes to another. Or, via the Split Duty VAT (SDV) option,
customers can bill the freight and duty to one party and the
tax/VAT to another.*
Here are just some of the many UPS international billing
options you may choose from:
•Shipper pays shipping costs; receiver pays duties and taxes.
•Receiver pays all charges (also referred to as “Freight Collect”).
•Shipper pays all charges (also referred to as “Delivery Duty
Paid” or “Free Domicile”).
•Shipper pays shipping charges; a third party (could be in another
country) pays the duties and taxes.
Unless otherwise indicated, shipping charges are billed to the
shipper’s UPS account number, and the consignee or receiver
pays duties and taxes.
Note: A “Duties and Tax Forwarding
Surcharge”* is applied whenever the shipper
requests that the duties and taxes be billed to
a payor outside the destination country. The
third party’s UPS Account Number is required.
*The UPS paper waybill does not support the SDV billing option.
Customs Clearance Classification
Use this glossary to help understand how the items you ship
are defined by Canada customs. This will help ensure a speedy
clearance process for all your deliveries.
Document Shipment
A shipment generally containing written, typed or printed
communication of no commercial value. Document shipments
are usually considered non-dutiable shipments and generally do
not require export documentation (commercial invoice, etc.).
Non-Document/Dutiable
Any commodity not meeting the document qualifications of
Canada. Access International Forms to view Canada’s Document
Checklist for document qualifications. Non-documents cannot
be shipped in UPS Letter envelopes.
Non-Dutiable
Goods that, due to their nature and/or value, are considered
exempt from customs duty, usually based on value, weight or
quantity. The type of goods that are considered non-dutiable
may vary by country.
Samples
A low-value commodity that essentially has no commercial value.
For textile goods to qualify as a sample they must be mutilated or
marked to render them not suitable for commercial use.
Personal Effects
Personal effects are items intended for the consignee’s personal
use rather than for distribution, business maintenance or
wholesale/retail sale. Examples are clothing, used CDs, personal
grooming items, a suitcase contained within a carton or box, etc.
The consignee shipping personal effects must use an authorized
The UPS Store®/Mail Boxes, Etc.® location or a UPS Customer
Center. An inventory list with reason for move, confirmation that
the personal items are six months or older, and a photocopy of
passport or ID card must also be included.

Canada Guide: Unique Solutions
Learn how UPS can
help you harness retail
opportunities here.
Retail
Over 14 million Canadian consumers engaged in
e-commerce in 2013, generating $21.5 billion in B2C sales.
Over one-third of the world’s cross-border e-commerce
“power shoppers” live in Canada, presenting a significant
opportunity for retailers. In fact, 60% of Canada’s
online shoppers purchase goods and services from U.S.
Web merchants. UPS has a range of transportation and
brokerage solutions to help you sell your product to this
vast untapped pool of Canadian customers, such as our
eBrokerage Program designed specifically for online
retailers, and Automated Brokerage Solutions (ABS)
designed specifically for B2C shippers.
Learn more about retail opportunities here.
Aerospace and Aviation
Canada is one of the largest aerospace markets in the
world, with most of it in the provinces of Quebec and
Ontario. With companies such as Bombadier, Pratt
Whitney, Boeing and Rolls Royce all having facilities
there, Canada has strong growth potential for companies
that deal in parts, maintenance and software for these
industries. UPS specializes in the shipment of all these
and more, with experience in everything from custom
packaging, the handling of high-tech equipment and
freight delivery.
Learn more about aerospace and aviation
opportunities here.
High Tech
The techology industry is huge in Canada and growing.
From a highly educated workforce to consumers with
much the same consumption demands as those in
the U.S., there is a great opportunity to expand your
tech business. UPS has been enabling high tech supply
No matter what your business needs, chances are they are going to be different from every other company’s. That’s why
UPS prides itself on being a logistics company. We are built around the intricacies of finding the right solution for each of
our customers’ individualized needs. In Canada, as with the rest of the world, those needs tend to grow out of finding the
right opportunity. So to keep your business moving in the land of the maple leaf, here are some of the leading industries
in Canada and how UPS can help you realize the many possibilities.
chains in Canada for over 35 years. We have a network
of field stocking locations there to give high tech service
providers the ability to meet SLA’s and maintain customer
satisfaction across the provinces. In addition, our
experience as one of the world’s largest customs brokers
gives us unique insight and expertise when it comes to
prompt clearance and speedy delivery of the products
and materials associated with this cutting-edge industry.
Learn more about high tech opportunities here.
Oil and Gas
Canada is a major world producer of both natural gas and
crude oil. In fact, the world’s second-largest oil reserve
comes from the oil sands in Alberta. To get that kind of
production, it takes a lot of equipment and over half of
what Canada uses comes from the U.S. As the largest
customs brokerage network in North America, UPS has
the expertise to help get your parts to any location quickly
and seamlessly, whether you specialize in something as
big as industrial riggings or as small as a lug nut.
Learn more about oil and gas opportunities here.
Automotive
Canadian manufacturing is responsible for close to 20%
of the automotive market in North America. With the
push for more energy efficient vehicles comes the need
to modernize and update many plants. Whether your
business specializes in technology or mechanics, finances
or insurance, there is great opportunity in the Canadian
market. From our expertise in handling time-sensitive
documents to a seemingly omnipresent delivery fleet,
UPS has the logistics and reach to bring your product to
this market.
Learn more about automotive opportunities here.
Importer Is Responsible for Clearance
It is important to know that in Canada, the importer is responsible
for customs clearance, unless other arrangements are made. To
prevent your Canadian customers from having to take on this
responsibility, UPS offers a Non-Resident Importer (NRI) program.
This program makes your supply chain more efficient and gives
you the ability to move your product quicker.
Learn more about becoming a Non-Resident Importer here.
Intellectual Property Rights
Believe it or not, Canada is on the U.S. special watch list regarding
intellectual property rights (IPR). This is only because many
companies don’t realize they need to file their U.S. intellectual
property rights separately in Canada, so that they can be enforced
and protected under local law. A separate country is a separate
country after all, with its own statutes and regulations regarding
copyrights and patents.
