Frequently asked questions
Are these forms really free, and do I need an account?
Yes, every form here is free. Open a form's page and select Download fillable PDF. No checkout, account or email is needed.
Why should I open the forms in Adobe Acrobat Reader instead of my browser?
The automatic totals and other form features use PDF scripts that browser PDF viewers often don't support. Save the file first, then open it in the free desktop Adobe Acrobat Reader app.
Is your Canada Customs Invoice the same as the CBSA's CI1?
Our Canada Customs Invoice uses the CI1 fields and adds automatic line and invoice totals. For field-by-field guidance, see the CBSA's completion instructions, and ask your customs broker which invoice format they want.
Can I add my company logo?
The free forms use a standard BorderPrint layout. For a bill of lading with your logo and company details, see our Custom-Branded Bill of Lading.
Do these forms replace my customs broker?
No. They help you prepare and organize your paperwork. Always confirm current requirements with your customs broker, carrier or the applicable government authority before you ship.
