I have my first product ready for export from Canada to the US but im stumped on shipping. Generic carriers like UPS and FedEx cost a fortune, there have got to be better options. My current options are:
The other questions are concerning the paperwork. My product is worth 1750 USD, which is what i paid for it. I know the formal limit in Canada is $2500 but what does this exactly mean? Does it mean i dont need a commercial invoice, BOL, and country of origin on the import? Does it mean that i dont need to provide my SSN to the customs broker?
Whats your method to have the product shipped to the states from canada?
- Use a generic carrier like UPS, FedEx, or DHL. They're quoting me roughly $1000 CAD to have it shipped to where i need to.
- Figure out how i can get my product over the border myself using a customs broker and have it delivered to a 3PL warehouse from where UPS will pick it up.
