What we do, lane by lane.
Six service lanes — CBSA clearance, flat-rate brokerage, CARM compliance, HS classification, Non-Resident Importer setup and e-commerce clearance.
Import to Canada Made Simple
Importing goods into Canada doesn't need to be complicated. We manage CBSA requirements, documentation, and communication with carriers, so you can focus on running your business.
Flat Brokerage Fees with No Hidden Charges
Customs clearance should be predictable. Ambassador Customs offers flat brokerage fees with no hidden costs, helping importers save money and plan with confidence.
Expert Guidance with CARM & RPP Support
CARM onboarding and RPP bonds are now essential for all Canadian importers. Our experts guide you through registration, bond setup, and compliance with CBSA regulations to avoid penalties and delays.
HS Code Classification & Trade Compliance
Accurate HS code classification ensures the correct duties and taxes are applied. Our team helps importers verify HS codes, reduce risks of errors, and maintain full compliance with Canadian trade regulations.
Non-Resident Importer (NRI) Setup
U.S. and overseas companies can sell into Canada as the importer of record without opening a Canadian office. We set up the Business Number, CARM account and every clearance after it, so your Canadian customers receive goods with no customs work on their side.
E-commerce & Courier Clearance
Shopify, Amazon FBA and marketplace sellers importing through UPS, FedEx and DHL: courier low-value (CLVS) entries for commercial shipments of CAD 2,000 or less at a flat $30, formal entries for pallets and containers, GST recovery and catalogue classification.
