Bringing work goods across border
score:3
Accepted answer
I was ultimately successful in bringing the goods across the border myself. It was, indeed, a "casual commercial importation"; however, there were a few things that I wish I had known and done in advance:
- If you bring a vehicle into the United States for the purposes of importing goods for business purposes, they may charge you a user fee. That fee, as of 2019-01-08, is USD13.20
- You will need an importer number. You can apply for one on the phone if you have a GST number and Canada Revenue Agency has you listed as a user on that account. Your importer number is usually very similar to your GST registration number
- You will need to fill out a B3 Import document. They have computers for this very purpose at the Sumas, WA/Abbotsford, BC border crossing
- You should have a paper copy of your actual invoice, not just an email on your phone
Everyone was very helpful and understanding, but they still expected it to be filled out correctly. In the end, it was a week or two faster than using a broker, and the company saved several hundred dollars in brokerage fees.
