Default Question regarding shipping to Canada

Does anyone here know if I sell say 40 Baseball card sets to Canada, can I just list it as one line item on the Customs form? Or do I need to list each and every set there is? I know Custom Forms only allow I believe 5 items per page. Thank You!

Hi Neal,

I believe you just have to mention the total number of sets and that's it. Each set doesn't have to be notated. Hopefully someone else will confirm for sure.
I hope this helps.

Brent

I OFTEN use the wonderful Customs Form descriptive - "Printed Matter". I was taught that by an older Post Master that frequently shipped "Printed Matter" for me!

Good Luck!

Hey, we Canadians are happy if anyone ships anything to us.
Neal, while I’ve not purchased a lot of items here, I think you sold me the first thing I bought on Net54.

I would agree with listing printed material or documents. If you put baseball cards or anything else that suggests value it may get 'misdirected'. Also, if they are of a decent value, the receiver will possibly get hit with customs charges. Multiple boxes, lower value per box. A bit more on postage, but a consideration.

Default Customs forms

Just remember when you are filling out the customs form, that EVERY package that is going to or coming from Canada is either X-Rayed or opened because of the tremendous amount of drugs that are being shipped across the border.

So, if you put down documents rather than baseball cards, your package is more likely to be flagged while going through customs and charged customs duties.

Rick brings up an important point. The Printed Matter route is best served for smaller shipments that fit into a flat envelope. 40 sets of "Printed Matter" is both hilarious and suspicious!

Since you're dealing with so many cards, I'll safely assume that the value is on the lower end. In this instance, you're best served to just say they're "cards" or "trade cards". Just avoid saying "Baseball Cards" while finding an honest way to describe them. You could also say "Ephemera--40 sets of cards". While still honest, "ephemera" might throw off an otherwise tempted worker from stealing your shipment.

Also, I have to hand it to you for finding a Canadian willing to pay what will likely be a fairly high rate to ship so many sets their way! (It's becoming borderline impossible to find American sellers who will ship north of the border--even for one nearly worthless item--so thank you for being so willing.)
