Account Security Processing

By obtaining an account security number from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), you can maintain a direct billing and payment relationship with CBSA for duties and taxes.

If FedEx performs the customs release and the importer uses an external broker for confirmation, the fee for high-value shipments (shipments valued at $3,300 CAD or more) is $3 CAD. If FedEx performs the confirmation only, the fee is $7 CAD for all shipments. If FedEx performs the release and the confirmation, the fee is $10 CAD.
