These instructions are the final conclusion to the post
UPS/FedEx Brokerage Fees – avoid scam
and are right for you if:
- You ordered some goods from US into Canada by UPS and they are on the way
- Going to import some goods from US into Canada by UPS
- Already received your package and did not pay anything to the driver. It means that UPS will send you brokerage fees invoice several weeks/months later, or send information right to collection agency
- Driver showed you collect-on-delivery (C.O.D.) invoice which was ~half of the item’s price and you refused to pay at the door
There are two conditions necessary for the procedure of self clearance at Canada customs:
- Your shipment’s value for duty is less than $1600 CAD
- You have one of the local CBSA (Canada customs) offices nearby. You may find the list of offices across Canada here: Directory of CBSA Offices where Courier Low Value Shipments Program clearances are performed.
Here is the procedure of self clearing (confirmed by CBSA main office and proven many times in practice):
- Wait while your package comes to the local UPS warehouse (where you live). You will see status in the shipment’s tracking information on UPS website. If you don’t track, so just wait for the first delivery attempt and refuse to pay at the door
- Call UPS at toll free number 1-800-742-5877, press “3″ to be connected to the billing department (or other prompt by the system), and ask customer service representative to send you shipment’s invoice. Some of the representatives call it commercial invoice. Just ask for “commercial invoice” associated with your tracking number. They can send it by e-mail or fax. Please make sure they got your address correctly – ask to spell it back. They will send it right away in .zip archive to your e-mail. Shipment’s invoice has the Unique Shipment Identifier Number needed by CBSA as well.
