In cases where the CBSA offers a special service to a courier for the clearance of Courier Low Value Shipments (LVS), a cost recovery schedule has been implemented so that the cost of operation is shared equally between the CBSA and the courier.
Cost recovery will be applied when:
It is important to discuss with the CBSA office of clearance how and when the Courier/LVS shipments will be processed. If any of the above criteria is met, the CBSA office will ensure that a cost recovery contract is prepared to describe the services being provided and the cost.
The Courier LVS Program's core hours are 07:00 to 18:00 Monday through Friday, excluding statutory holidays. However, the LVS core hours do not apply to designated commercial offices (open 7 days/24 hours).
Note:
The following calculation is used to determine the amount of the courier cost recovery portion if service is provided between 07:00 to 18:00 Monday through Friday:
Numbers shown in a shaded box represent the minimum charge.
