What is the main seaport serving Canada?

What customs and import requirements apply when shipping to Canada?
Imports into Canada require standard customs documentation: commercial invoice, packing list, and the relevant transport document. Depending on the commodity, you may need an import permit, certificate of conformity, phytosanitary certificate, or other product-specific documentation. Airpack's customs brokerage team handles import declarations at destination, advises on applicable duty rates for your HS codes, and ensures documentation is complete before cargo arrives to prevent demurrage or storage charges.
