Cross-border shipping made simple

Cross-border shipping is where small mistakes get expensive: a wrong form, a missing value or the wrong service level can mean delays and extra charges. RMS ships parcels across Canada, to the United States and internationally at discounted rates, and helps you get the paperwork right the first time.

We compare carriers for every shipment, so you get the best balance of price and speed whether you send one parcel a week or hundreds a day.

Shipping to the U.S. after the de minimis change

Since 29 August 2025, the United States no longer lets most low-value parcels in duty-free. Duties and taxes now apply to most shipments, and parcels sent by post to the U.S. need those charges handled before delivery. For Canadian businesses, that means more paperwork and new costs to plan for.

RMS helps you choose services that handle duties properly, prepare accurate commercial invoices and avoid parcels being held at the border. The rules continue to change, so we confirm current requirements before every shipment.

Questions about Transborder Parcels & Couriers

It depends on the size, weight, speed and value of the parcel. RMS compares carriers for each shipment and uses business rates, which are usually well below what you pay at a retail counter.

Commercial shipments to the U.S. need a commercial invoice or customs form describing the goods, their value and their origin. We help you prepare it correctly.

On 29 August 2025 the U.S. suspended its US$800 duty-free threshold for most imports, so duties and taxes now apply to most parcels. Shipments need the right paperwork and a plan for who pays the duties.

We focus on domestic, transborder and international parcel shipping at discounted rates, rather than same-day local delivery.
