Important Information
This checklist is a preparation aid, not a customs declaration, release notice, or authorization to cross the border. Selecting Ready confirms only that you have reviewed that preparation item; it does not confirm customs release.
Confirm current shipment-specific requirements and release status with your customs broker and carrier. The checklist does not replace invoices, customs filings, permits, or other required shipment documents.
