"Our automotive parts shipments from Michigan used to sit at the border for hours. Crest files pre-arrival and our drivers are cleared before they even arrive. Huge difference."

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

A licensed customs broker is authorized by the CBSA to prepare and file import/export entries on your behalf. While not legally required for all shipments, a broker ensures your entries are classified correctly, duties are calculated accurately, and your goods are released without unnecessary delays or CBSA audits.
CARM (CBSA Assessment and Revenue Management) is a new digital platform from the Canada Border Services Agency that changes how importers post bonds, pay duties, and manage their trade accounts. Registration in the CARM Client Portal is now mandatory for all commercial importers. Crest Customs Solutions can handle your full CARM setup.
For truck shipments, we file pre-arrival (PAPS/ACI) so your goods are often released before the truck reaches the border. Once all documents are received and correctly filed, most commercial shipments are released same day. Ocean and air clearances depend on port volume and document completeness.
Yes. We handle both directions. For imports into Canada, we file ACI and PAPS entries and manage full CBSA clearance. For exports from Canada to the US, we prepare B13A export declarations, CUSMA/USMCA certificates of origin, and AES filings for US Customs compliance.
Simply fill out the form on this page or call us at 604-764-7726. We'll confirm your shipment details, request the required documents (commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading), and get your file set up β€” typically within 1–2 business days for new clients.
