Shipping between Canada and the United States should be straightforward, but anyone who's dealt with a customs hold, a cabotage violation, or a misclassified commodity knows it often isn't. Werlwind has been managing cross-border freight since 1993. We know CBSA and CBP requirements inside and out, we work with carriers who are authorized and experienced in both countries, and we handle the documentation and compliance so you don't have to.

Cross-border freight has more failure points than domestic moves. Carriers may lack proper authority to operate in both countries. Documentation errors can trigger inspections and delays at the border that cascade through your entire supply chain. Cabotage rules can be poorly understood and frequently violated, potentially exposing shippers and carriers to fines. Commodity classifications get missed, and what should have been a next-day delivery turns into a week-long customs hold.
We prevent these problems because we've seen them all. Our carrier network is pre-qualified for cross-border operations. Our documentation is right the first time. And when something does come up at the border, we're on it immediately, because we've been here before and we know who to call.
