What documentation is required to import shipments into Canada?

There is a short and a long answer to this. The short answer is that a bill of sale or invoice is required to import shipments into Canada. On that bill of sale or invoice should show:

1.   Who the buyer and seller are
2.  What the items are
3. Where the items made
4. How much they cost – including currency
5. If applicable, a NAFTA certificate of origin is required for U.S. manufactured qualifying goods.
