Invoice Requirements
Did you know that a commercial or sales invoice can be used in place of a Canada Customs Invoice (CCI)? These invoices are accepted by CBSA as long as they have the same information as provided on a CCI. Often the country of the manufacture of the goods is missed on these invoices, thereby delaying shipments at the border. For more information, check out our website Click here.
