Adding items
For each item in the shipment, provide:- Item description — a plain-language description of what the item is (e.g. “t-shirt”, “phone case”, “ceramic mug”)
- Quantity — the number of units of that item
- Estimated unit value — the approximate value per unit in CAD
Declared value and insurance
The total declared value from all items is used to calculate the cost of shipment insurance at the add-ons step. Even if you don’t plan to add insurance, accurate values help in the event of a loss or damage claim.Declared values are for insurance purposes only and are not submitted to customs. Domestic Canada shipments do not require customs declarations.
