Shipments to Canada from the UK must include customs documentation. It’s important these are completed accurately, or you risk your parcel being delayed, returned or even destroyed.
You’ll need to complete a commercial invoice. Your courier service will be able to provide these documents for you.
Include as much detail as possible when completing these forms. For example, instead of writing ‘art’ as the product description, add ‘watercolour painting in a wooden frame, made in England’.
This detail helps those completing customs checks when your parcel arrives in Canada and reduces the likelihood of it being rejected or delivery being delayed.

Like most countries, Canada has unique rules when it comes to importing goods. So, it’s worth checking your items are permitted before sending them – otherwise they may be returned to you at a charge or even destroyed.
Some items which may be rejected for import to Canada include:
Certain consumer goods – like food and beverage products – require importers to own a specialised license.
Check the Canadian government’s website for more information on prohibited imports and if you’re still unsure, it’s worth contacting them before arranging your shipment.

It’s important your shipments are addressed correctly, so they arrive safely and on time to your loved ones and customers abroad.
Follow these steps when addressing parcels to Canada:
Write the address in block capitals, with the recipient’s name on the first line. The house number and street name go on the second line – with apartment and building numbers separated by a dash e.g., ‘12-24’.
Street names and directions are often abbreviated, for example, ‘street’ becomes ‘ST’ and southwest becomes ‘SW’.
The city, province and postcode go on the third line, with the province abbreviated to its 2-digit code, e.g., ‘QC’.
For example:
JEAN DUPONT
10 GASPE AVE
MONTREAL QC H2P 2K3

PACK & SEND have both air and sea services to get goods into Canada. The time these services takes to reach Canada is always unpredictable as a result of customs clearance. We would estimate goods going to Canada to take 5-7 days by air and 8-10 weeks by sea.
