Seamless Cross Border Shipping You Can Trust

Amplify Logistics has a team of dedicated border crossing experts and several customs gateway locations in Canada and the US. To determine whether your shipment has crossed the border, we will consider its origin and destination. We take measures to use direct routes for your cargo in order to guarantee an efficient and timely delivery service.

If you’d like to ship goods from the US to Canada, you may use a Canadian customs broker, depending on where the goods will require customs clearance. Amplify Logistics is a cross-border shipping company offering broker-inclusive services to our clients who are in this business. Our goal is to provide simple and efficient cross-border transportation for our clients.

Setting up your shipment:

To ensure a smooth process, it’s essential to set up your shipping account in advance. Contact your forwarding agent and customs broker to establish your account and provide any forms needed. Having these relationships in place ahead of time will help prevent unnecessary shipping delays.

Shipping instructions:

When shipping goods to your chosen destination, be sure to follow the shipping instructions provided by your carrier or logistics partner. Clearly label your shipment with your name and reference information to avoid confusion at the warehouse or pickup point.

The amount you pay for duty and taxes will depend on your cargo. This amount is billed by your customs broker and reported to customs on your behalf.

Waiting for your shipment:

Once all documents are in order, your shipment will be processed and shipped. For commercial shipments, delivery is typically made directly to your specified location. For personal shipments, your logistics provider will arrange for pickup at their local office and notify you when your goods are ready.

There is a standard coverage offered against losses or damages and this will vary depending on the weight of your cargo. However, you can still request for additional insurance coverage.

The shipping costs will depend on your pricing plan. We’re happy to discuss this in detail if you reach out to our team directly.

At the minimum, you will be required to provide a commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading. The documents should be provided to us when we pick your shipment. In some cases, additional documents may be required. If this is the case, you can get a customs broker to help you prepare these documents. Customs brokers can help to prepare documents such as the export licence which is necessary when transporting regulated cargo such as alcohol and firearms. It’s important to communicate with the freight forwarding agent and ask about all documentation required beforehand.

• Ensure that all the information about the product is provided before shipping it for the first time. This includes information regarding the components that make up the product and manufacturing process.

• In some cases, it can be helpful to ship a product sample in advance so that it undergoes the necessary inspection and classification. This can help to avoid unnecessary delays in cross border shipping in Toronto.

• Ensure products are properly classified before shipping. Classification of products can take a long time depending on the complexity of the item being shipped.

For commercial shipments, delivery is typically included to your business location. For personal shipments or specific arrangements, your logistics provider will coordinate with you for local pickup, providing you with the address and available hours for collection.

By following these steps and preparing the required documentation in advance, you can ensure your cross-border shipments move quickly and efficiently. If you have any questions, our logistics experts are happy to walk you through the process.
