Pre-Arrival Review System (PARS – Canada)
At Maple Customs Brokerage LLC, our Pre-Arrival Review System (PARS – Canada) service ensures your commercial shipments entering Canada are reviewed and approved before they arrive at the border. PARS allows customs documentation to be submitted electronically in advance, reducing wait times and preventing costly border delays.
Our experienced customs team manages your PARS filings accurately and efficiently to keep your freight moving smoothly into Canada.
What Is PARS?
The Pre-Arrival Review System (PARS) is a Canadian customs clearance process that allows import documentation to be submitted to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) before the shipment reaches the Canadian border.
Once the documents are reviewed and approved, the shipment can be released quickly upon arrival, minimizing delays for truck drivers and supply chain disruptions.
How PARS Works
- The carrier assigns a unique PARS barcode to the shipment.
- Shipping and customs documents are submitted electronically before arrival.
- CBSA reviews and processes the information.
- Upon arrival at the border, goods are released if approved.
