ABC Customs Brokers has a long and proud history of serving companies in the Forest Industry. Forestry and lumber is one of Canada's primary industries, and ABC has developed expertise in assisting forestry companies and suppliers with helpful advice on how best to handle forest equipment, logs and lumber when it enters Canada. Often times, forestry companies or suppliers importing equipment or machinery, experience delays in customs clearance due to:

• The USA-Canada Softwood Lumber Agreement
• Problems with Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) due to the requirement for steam cleaning.
• Problems with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection 72 hour rule for exporting vehicles.
• Questions as to the process for re-export of the equipment
• Incomplete or unclear documentation.
