Managing customs brokers

You likely only use a few customs brokers for your freight, perhaps one for freight entering Canada and another entering the United States. Saving the brokers you use saves time when booking shipments and helps avoid mistakes.

Alert

We don’t allow self-clearing. All shipments must be processed through a licensed customs broker.

Save your brokers in the Customs Broker section under the Manage Company tab, which you can reach from the top menu.

  1. View your saved brokers

    Once you are in the Customs Brokers section, you can see the customs brokers you currently have saved.
