B3 Forms - What They Are and Why You Need Them

Scenarios Involving Your B3


Depending on the details of your shipment, your B3 will, of course, need to be packaged along with any other necessary documentation mandated by CBSA to ensure clearance. However, certain scenarios, like if your goods total less than CAN$2,500 and are considered part of the Courier Low Value Shipment Program, may only require the B3 to be submitted on its own.

If your commercial shipment isn’t below the low-value threshold, the standard forms include:



  • cargo control document, which informs you of your goods’ arrival and its status awaiting CBSA clearance;

  • commercial invoice;

  • recap sheet, including tax rates, total price payable and exchange rates, if any; and

  • An invoice cross-reference, to show the relationship between each invoice line and your B3’s classification lines.

Coloured wrappers must also be applied to your B3 forms to indicate under which category the incoming shipment falls, be it above or below the low-value threshold, a cash-paid shipment, or one that will arrive at a customs-supervised warehouse, among others. Take the time to note which colour applies to you.

Lastly, you may need to submit more than one copy of your B3 dependant on at which stage duties and taxes on your goods are paid:
