First-Timer's Guide to Shipping to Canada cover from NorthStar Express

Exhibiting at a show in Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal? Crossing the border adds customs, duties and taxes, and paperwork your domestic carrier may never have seen. A display held at the border is as good as a display that never shipped.

In this 9-page guide for U.S. exhibitors we cover:

  • ten decisions to make before a Canadian show

  • the three kinds of goods customs cares about, plus GST/HST

  • clearing customs with an ATA Carnet, a temporary admission permit (E29B) or a duty-paid entry

  • getting your display material home without paying twice

  • choosing a carrier with cross-border show experience
