Our fully automated EXPRESSCLEAR system provides rapid, accurate processing for clearance of your international shipments before the plane even leaves the ground. The system uses state-of-the-art technology to electronically transmit shipment information to the Customs Agency, including commercial invoice information, so the processing of a shipment can begin before the package is in the air.
Customs officers inspect packages on-site, so packages approved for release can be sorted and sent out to meet the original delivery deadline. Because of the EXPRESSCLEAR system, over 90% of all shipments are cleared the same day.
Standard customs clearance is included with every FedEx international shipment, but you also have the option to use your own broker with FedEx® International Broker Select.
In addition, FedEx offers value-added ancillary clearance services that can provide you with superior solutions and processing efficiencies by speeding-up clearance time and reducing your delivery time.

Additional Information
Introducing pre-authorized, expedited clearance of goods under the Customs Self-Assessment (CSA) program with FedEx Express. If you frequently ship goods into Canada, the CSA program may work for you. It enables clearance of goods across the border for low-risk, pre-authorized importers and carriers.
FedEx Express was the first integrated carrier in Canada to receive Customs Self-Assessment certification.
If your company is CSA-certified, you can use FedEx Express to:
- Expedite clearance of goods across the Canada/U.S. border
- Significantly reduce paperwork and eliminate the need for pre-approval and customs documents
- Use your own tracking and accounting system to remit customs duties
To learn how you can become CSA-certified, visit the Canada Border Service Agency's Customs Self-Assessment Program website.
