What are the basics on how to import goods into Canada?
In order to import goods, you will need a business number, which is issued by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). Additional information on this business number is provided at: http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/import/rb-ee-eng.html. You should also contact the nearest Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) office to obtain information on other required documents, import procedures, and applicable taxes before you import from the United States. A list of CBSA offices in Canada is available at: http://cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/contact/listing/indexpages/index-e.html When your import shipment arrives from the United States, you will have to show Canada Customs your Cargo Control Documents, Business Number, Invoices, and Permits, and pay any applicable taxes using Form B-3, Canada Customs Coding Form.
