What Documents Do You Need to Import Goods into Canada?

Most commercial imports need a clear commercial invoice and transport documentation. Depending on the product, additional permits, certificates or agency documents may apply.

Core document set

• Commercial invoice
• Packing list
• Bill of lading / air waybill / carrier documentation
• Importer details
• HS classification and origin information

Highly regulated goods can require additional records. Confirm requirements before the cargo leaves origin.
