Canadian importers have the option of self-clearing their goods that come in to the country. The self-clearance option can mean better control over your shipments and enhanced customs compliance.
Getting your business ready for self-filing
Bringing customs operations in-house means you have some decisions to make about your processes. After all, choosing the right systems and support infrastructure is critical when becoming a self-filing importer; you need to have the tools in place – including contingency options – to ensure your shipments keep moving even if you or your staff is unavailable.
Technology automation can help ensure a smooth, seamless transition to customs self-filing.
