CUSMA savings on U.S.-origin goods
U.S. goods do not enter duty-free automatically — the preference must be claimed, and the goods must genuinely qualify under the rules of origin with a valid certification. We verify eligibility before filing; our CUSMA guide explains how the savings work.
Classification is the other half of the file: our HS code classification service keeps codes consistent so both the duty rate and the origin claim survive review.

Clearing Freight Across Quebec
Port of Montreal containers picked up inside free time, trucks crossing Lacolle and Stanstead with PARS on file, air cargo at Trudeau and Mirabel — the entry is ready before the freight is.
Companies in Quebec City, Sherbrooke or Laval clear at Montreal without ever leaving the office: entries are electronic, and your location doesn't matter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Mes documents sont en français — est-ce un problème?
Pas du tout. Nous traitons les factures et documents en français quotidiennement; envoyez-les tels quels.
Can you clear my container at Montreal if my company is in Quebec City or Sherbrooke?
Yes — your location doesn't matter. Entries are electronic, and Montreal-port clearances are among the most common work we do for clients across the province.
Do U.S. goods automatically enter duty-free under CUSMA?
No — the preference must be claimed, and the goods must genuinely qualify under the rules of origin with a valid certification. We verify eligibility before filing.
