Before we dive into the main topic, it is important to emphasize the importance of the United States borders<\/strong>. The US and Canada<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0have the longest international border in the world<\/strong>. With a border length of 5,525 miles and 120 land ports of entry, the United States and Canada have one of the world's strongest and most extensive bilateral relationships.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Every day, goods and services worth close to $2.6 billion are traded between the two nations. As for the Mexican-American border<\/strong>, 3,145 kilometers comprise the entire continental border (1,954 mi). With about 350 million recorded crossings each year, the border between Mexico and the United States is the most frequently crossed border in the entire world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While shipping freight from Canada to the United States is easy, with the only requirement having a valid Canadian passport, the same can not be said for the US-Mexico border. That being said, c<\/strong><\/span>ross-border freight<\/strong> is extremely common at both borders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Cross Border Freight Shipping between the U.S. and Canada<\/b><\/h2>\n

Freight shipping between the two <\/span>North American nations<\/strong> is a tedious process.\u00a0 FedEx and UPS dominate the shipping market, but there are other options for small firms that carry pallets. Working with the appropriate transportation firm makes it easy to understand LTL shipping to the U.S. from Canada.<\/p>\n

As of 2019, Canada is second only to Mexico in terms of importance as a commercial partner for the United States. <\/span>Over $525 billion USD worth of imports and exports pass between the two nations every year, and 68% of that cross-border freight<\/strong> is transported by truck.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Road freight shipping between the U.S. and Canada\"Road<\/b><\/h3>\n

Even though it frequently happens, as nearly 30,000 trucks cross the U.S.-Canada border daily, moving<\/span> freight across borders<\/b> is more difficult than doing so domestically. <\/span>Before shipping, you should set up a reputable customs broker<\/a>(We will talk more about the customs broker later).<\/span><\/p>\n

It is also important to have an importer of record, which will be indicated on the customs documents and is responsible for processing any duties payable to the U.S. or Canadian government. <\/span>The importer of record can be either the seller or the buyer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, road freight shipping can also be done by car. It is important to note that vehicles may be imported duty-free into the United States by Canadians who do not reside there for up to a year for personal use. You should schedule your arrival to coincide with the arrival of your automobile if you are transporting it to the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n

Air freight shipping between the U.S. and Canada\"Air<\/b><\/h3>\n

Of course, it is well known that air freight<\/a><\/span>\u00a0is a very dependable and fast method of transportation between any two nations. In the case of the US<\/strong> and Canada,<\/strong> it is very helpful if you want to ship from a state (in the case of the US) or a province (in the case of Canada) that is very far away from the American-Canadian border.<\/p>\n

And while any industry can use air freight,<\/strong> as it is convenient and simple, there are particular sectors that frequently use air freight, and these are:<\/span><\/p>\n
