Customs and freight support for Canada-U.S. trade
Coordinate the customs and transport needs of your cross-border shipment. Welke offers Canadian customs brokerage, U.S. customs brokerage and freight forwarding. Tell us which services your business needs so we can review the request together.
Start with the direction of trade
Tell us which country the goods enter, who is importing them and where the shipment must be delivered. The goods, transaction and route determine the entry requirements. Canada’s import process is separate from the U.S. process.
A contact who knows your business
You will always have a named account manager who knows your goods, your suppliers, your schedule, and who answers your calls.
Customs and transport in one request
Welke coordinates freight into Canada and the U.S. and exports from both countries to destinations worldwide. Trucking support includes domestic movements and Canada-U.S.-Mexico routes. Include the actual pickup and destination so the team can confirm the service needed.
See Canadian customs brokerage, U.S. customs brokerage and freight forwarding. Confirm the services, responsible parties and charges for your shipment.
Prepare the shipment details
- Goods description, value and country of origin.
- Importer and countries involved.
- Pickup and final delivery locations.
- Transport mode, ready date and required delivery date.
- Brokerage, freight and known special requirements.
Cross-border questions
Does using a broker remove the importer’s responsibilities?
No. The importer keeps its obligations for accurate information and applicable duties or taxes. If a broker acts for a Canadian commercial importer, confirm the agency agreement and CARM portal authority. See CBSA importer-setup guidance.
For U.S. imports, eligible owners or purchasers may make entry themselves, or an appropriately designated licensed broker may make entry. The importer must use reasonable care with its entry information. See 19 U.S.C. section 1484.
Can the same request include customs and freight?
Yes. State the services you need on each side of the border. The scope and charges must be agreed for the shipment.
Does this include Mexican customs brokerage?
Welke handles U.S. import entries for goods arriving from Mexico through U.S. crossings. It does not file Mexican import entries. Transport support and the destination country’s customs filing are different services.
Can you guarantee release by a certain time?
Government release, inspections and holds depend on the goods and circumstances. Provide the required delivery date so it can be considered when the route is reviewed.
