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

• Incomplete or incorrect shipment manifests
• Incomplete customs invoice information

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 & 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
