Key Shipping Documents You’ll Need

When shipping materials across the Canadian-U.S. border, having the correct documentation is crucial. U.S. Customs requires a variety of forms to classify, inspect, and approve your goods. Below are the essential  documents needed to meet compliance standards:

Commercial Invoice

The commercial invoice is the foundation of most international shipments. This document details what is being shipped, how much the buyer is paying, and the declared value of the items. Customs officials use this form to calculate duties and taxes. It’s essential to ensure the invoice is accurate and reflects the true

value of the goods.

NAFTA Certificate of Origin

Under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), eligible products may qualify for duty-free entry to the U.S. The NAFTA Certificate of Origin proves that the items originate from North America, ensuring you receive the appropriate duty exemptions. If your shipment qualifies, including this document is non-negotiable for reduced shipping costs.

Bill of Lading

The Bill of Lading is both a shipping contract and a receipt issued by the carrier. It outlines what is being shipped, the terms of transportation, and proof of ownership for the shipment. There are two types of Bills of Lading—straight and negotiable—depending on whether the goods may be sold while in transit. For high-stakes shipments, retaining an original copy is vital to avoid complications.

Air Waybill

For air freight, the Air Waybill is a shipment-specific document ensuring the carrier and customs understand the shipping details. It includes the description of goods, shipping terms, and tracking information, enabling all parties to keep shipments secure and visible throughout transit.

Certificate of Origin

While the NAFTA Certificate of Origin focuses on duty-free shipments, the Certificate of Origin is broader and verifies where your goods were manufactured. Some items, especially those subjected to restrictive trade policies, may face additional scrutiny without this document.

Inspection Certificate

For goods requiring third-party verification, such as machinery or high-value equipment, an inspection certificate validates the accuracy of the shipment specifications. This document is often mandatory for specialty shipments like industrial parts or pharmaceuticals.

Dock/Warehouse Receipt

This receipt ensures accountability beyond your shipping point. Issued when a courier moves your shipment to the port or warehouse, the Dock/Warehouse Receipt serves as proof that your goods are in the carrier’s possession and ready for transit.

Shipper’s Export Declaration (SED)

Required when the value of your shipment exceeds certain thresholds (e.g., more than $500 when using USPS or $2,500 via other services), the SED reports the details of your export to the U.S. government. Accurate data in this declaration helps prevent penalties or delays during customs inspections.

Export Packing List

Providing a detailed breakdown of the shipment’s contents, dimensions, and weights, the Export Packing List reinforces the legitimacy of your declarations. Customs officials use this document to confirm that what is being shipped aligns with the details provided in other forms.
