U.S. fulfillment for Canadian sellers

Canadian sellers can apply to keep stock at FulfillHarbor in Kissimmee, Florida, for delivery to U.S. customers. Our warehouse service does not require a U.S. company. You arrange the Canadian export and U.S. import requirements, and we receive approved inventory, pack orders and process returns.

Compare U.S. inventory with shipping from Canada

Start with the orders you expect to send to U.S. addresses. Compare the cost of shipping each parcel from Canada with moving a batch into Florida and paying for domestic delivery from there. Include the incoming shipment and clearance, storage, packaging and the cost of handling returns.

A small initial range makes that comparison easier to track. Keep a separate plan for Canadian customer orders: our standard label workflow serves U.S. destinations. Check the available delivery services for your actual product dimensions before making promises on the store.

Check Canadian reporting for the actual shipment

The CBSA export reporting guide lists goods exported for consumption in the United States among the exceptions to the usual export declaration requirement. Requirements for controlled or regulated products can still apply, and goods travelling through the U.S. to another country have different reporting considerations.

Ask your customs provider how the rules apply to the inventory you are sending. An exception from a Canadian export declaration does not remove U.S. import requirements. Give the carrier the documentation and reporting explanation required for that shipment. Keep the records of what left Canada and what arrived at the warehouse.

Check origin before assuming a tariff preference

Products dispatched from Canada need an origin assessment if you want to claim CUSMA treatment. The agreement's rules of origin depend on the goods and how they were produced. Its origin procedures cover the certification used for a preference claim.

Give your broker the manufacturing information and request a current, product-specific estimate of import costs. Do this before setting your U.S. prices. We do not quote a general duty rate for Canadian shipments or promise that a trade agreement removes every possible charge.

You arrange international transport and U.S. customs clearance separately. FulfillHarbor does not provide customs clearance. See the transport and customs checklist for details to discuss with your chosen provider.

Keep Canadian business and payment information consistent

Your warehouse account, marketplace account and payment provider have separate verification processes. For a Canadian Shopify business, review Shopify's Canadian requirements. Holding stock in Florida does not by itself qualify the business for a U.S. payment account.

Ask your accountant to review the tax and bookkeeping implications of U.S. inventory and sales. Warehouse charges are in USD, so allow for currency conversion when comparing them with your CAD product costs. The guide to applying without a U.S. company explains the scope of our onboarding policy.

Get the shipment ready for receiving

Complete onboarding with your valid passport, contact or business details, payment method, product and inventory-ownership declarations, and signed agreement. Wait for the account and products to be approved before sending goods.

Add the products and quantities and register the inbound shipment before dispatch. Add tracking when it becomes available. Use the assigned receiving address and recipient instructions, then wait for warehouse check-in to confirm your available inventory. The inbound guide covers those steps.

Connected store orders enter the dashboard. After we prepare a parcel, you select a shipping service and approve payment before dispatch. Plan how you will monitor those approvals as part of your order routine.

What the warehouse charges

Postage, shipping service fees, packaging and additional work are separate. The lower pick-and-pack rate applies only to orders from the 101st onward. Storage continues while your goods occupy a bin, including months with no orders. There is no setup fee or monthly order minimum. See the full prices and applicable extra charges, including inactive storage and SKU space agreements.

For example, 120 shipped orders and two occupied standard bins would cost $335 for storage and pick and pack: $275 for the first 100 orders, $50 for the next 20 and $10 for storage. Postage, shipping service fees, packaging and extra services are additional. This is an illustrative subtotal, not a shipping quote.

Handle U.S. customer returns locally

Approved fulfillment customers receive an assigned U.S. return address. Resellable goods can go back into inventory after inspection; damage is flagged for your decision. You manage customer refunds. Read the returns guide before updating the return instructions in your store.
