International shipments

It is your responsibility to ensure that:

  1. Your shipment complies with all customs and importation requirements.
  2. You have pre-paid all applicable customs and importation fees and charges.
  3. Once all arrangements are completed for the return of the device, you have faxed (613-952-8170) all paperwork (waybill, commercial invoice and any other related forms) to the attention of the Shipping and Receiving Services. Before shipping arrangements are made, Measurement Canada's shipping department will only pack the items and provide you with the dimensions and weight of the package.

Consult the Canada Border Services Agency's Web site to ensure you are aware of all customs and importation requirements and fees and charges that apply to your shipment.
