This might be a silly question but what does Goods to follow actually mean? Does it mean you can bring the goods with you at a later date or if it can shipped from your home country to Canada through mail? Will customs check to see if Goods to follow list matches your items? Lastly B4 is used for both Goods to follow and Goods to accompany, correct?
Goods to follow are those items that you're not carrying on you at the time of landing, but will be bringing into Canada later, after your landing. Usually they consist of furniture, electronics, kitchenware, etc. - basically anything you couldn't carry on you but intend to bring into the country. Bringing them in by mail is a bit weird, because they are large items, usually. Perhaps you meant a large package, like your shipping a pair floor standing speaker through FedEx, for example?

Customs usually does not check, however, they reserve the right to do so. It is therefore advisable that you do not nourish any bad ideas... You could easily be one of the few that is randomly selected for a thorough check, to verify the physical items and the list - fraud, smuggling; some of the likely charges that may result from any inconsistency, or may be just the taxes - its all up to the customs officer.

Yes, B4 is used for goods to follow and goods accompanying. In the event that your items are too many to fit, you add the B4A.

Should we declare clothing on customs form? (especially if its designer/brand name)
Yes you should, but no specifics. Just list them as an item and the value. If you have them in boxes (GTL) or in bags (GAL), you could just say "X bags/boxes of clothes".

All the best
