Customs Brokerage Support
Cargo doesn't clear itself. Masmot Logistics prepares and checks the documentation your customs broker needs, coordinates tariff classification questions, and stays on top of import/export compliance so freight doesn't sit in a bonded warehouse waiting on paperwork.
Customs Brokerage Support capabilities
Import/export documentation prep
Commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, and permits checked for accuracy before submission.
Tariff classification support
HS code guidance coordinated with licensed brokers to reduce classification disputes and delays.
Licensed broker coordination
We work directly with licensed customs brokers on both sides of the border to keep your file moving.
Bonded warehouse coordination
Support for cargo requiring bonded storage pending clearance or duty payment.
Duty & tax guidance
Landed cost estimates that factor in duty, GST/HST, and applicable trade agreement preferences.
Regulatory compliance checks
OGD (other government department) requirements — CFIA, Health Canada, and similar — flagged before cargo arrives, not after.
How it works
Pre-arrival review
Documentation reviewed against destination requirements before cargo departs origin.
Broker coordination
Your file is handed to a licensed customs broker with everything they need to submit cleanly.
Clearance monitoring
We track clearance status and flag any holds, exams, or additional information requests immediately.
Release & delivery
Once released, cargo moves straight to final delivery or your nominated pickup.
Common questions about customs brokerage support
We provide brokerage support — documentation preparation, classification guidance, and coordination — working alongside licensed customs brokers who hold the formal filing authority in each jurisdiction.
At minimum: a commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading or airway bill. Depending on the goods, you may also need a certificate of origin, permits, or OGD certificates — we'll tell you exactly what applies to your shipment.
Mismatched values between documents, vague product descriptions, and missing permits for regulated goods are the most common holds we see — all avoidable with a pre-arrival document review.
