You have to let UPS know that you want to clear your own shipments (Customer Clears Own). If you have the shipper put the name of your business on the shipment then UPS has to call you to see if you want them to act as your broker. They assume that if it is only a personal name that they can get away with being your broker and charging you. You can have a personal shipment and be your own broker. If you are using the tracking number to follow the shipment, you call UPS when it gets to the border and inform them that you want to be your own customs broker. You will need to know the tarriff classification codes of the items that you are bringing over the border. Canada Customs has now computerized this info, so that when you go to fill out the paperwork and the customs B3 form it is pretty easy to find this info on the computer. You also have to have a Business number if you do this fairly often, if not then Canada Customs has a general number that you can use if you won't be doing it that often. If you have a business, then you should already have the number you need. You then pay any taxes or duty and take the paperwork back to the UPS holding depot and pick it up. Of course, this is easy for me as I am in Vancouver and Customs and UPS are just down the block from each other. ;-) Regards, Murray Zaharia Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur.
