As an expert in cross border freight shipments CSA has customs facilitators on staff that help guide you through the entire process. We do not, however provide customs brokerage services. Instead our staff work closely with customs brokers to facilitate cross border freight movements. If you are in need of a customs broker we can recommend a company best suited to your shipping needs.
CSA’s standard Liability Insurance coverage is limited to $2.00/lb based on the weight of the missing or damaged product; included in your base freight rate. In some cases this will not adequately cover the cost of your goods. We would encourage you to check with your own insurance provider as many business policies will cover goods in transit. For a reasonable price, CSA offers Cargo Insurance coverage which will insure your goods for their replacement value. For more information please see Insurance.

Payment terms are available on approval of your shipping account credit request. We also accept Visa and Mastercard.
