Sports & Special Event Industry

At ABC Customs Brokers, our 55+ years in the business has developed our expertise and systems to serve both large and small events, and will help ensure your items clear entry through customs with a minimum of delays.

Often times, event related items arrive at customs with the following:

• Incomplete or incorrect shipment manifests
• Incomplete customs invoice information
• Insufficient export documentation from the exporting country (example: Form 4455 from the U.S.A.)

ABC Customs Brokers will work closely with event logistics staff to coordinate the following:

• Complete shipment manifests accurately
• Clear understanding of how the goods will enter the country from the Canada Border Services and U.S. Customs and Border Protection perspective:
• Consumption entry
  • ATA carnet entry for further export
  • Temporary import for pending return to the origin country (Canadian Form E-29B)
  • A 1/60th entry
  • U.S.A. temporary export
  • Cancellation of Canadian Bonds open departure
  • E-15 Form

While simple in its purpose, problems with documentation can cause costly delays, placing special events in jeopardy, by certain shipments or goods not be allowed access into the country.

• Educational Seminars and Workshops with your event logistics staff to educate and inform you of how best to prepare for the event.
• Assist in planning transportation to facilitate on-site deliveries.
