Make shipping requirements part of your cross-border plan from the start.
A useful quote needs origin, destination, product description, value, packed dimensions, weight and service needs. Ask whether duties, taxes, surcharges and destination fees are included; no universal rate applies.
A commercial invoice and packing information are common starting points. Requirements vary with goods, route and destination; confirm classification, permits and other documents with the carrier, broker and relevant authorities.
Eligibility depends on the specific substance, intended use, carrier policy and origin and destination rules. Obtain written confirmation and required documentation before booking; shipment acceptance is not guaranteed.
