Dear Friends
I landed in Canada a little over 2 months back and I have got the goods to follow list verified by the immigration officer with me. I landed from India, but my goods to follow is from the US since I was staying there. I am planning to have these items shipped through USPS to Canada (they are only 3 carton boxes).

- Will it be an issue if the goods to follow is from a different country other than the place from which we landed?
- what sort of security clearance happens during a postal parcel delivered from the US? Do I need to paste a copy of the certified goods to follow on it prior to being shipped from USA/show that to the USA postal service?
Any other advice from your experience is highly appreciated.
Thank You for your time

1. No.
2. I would rethink UPS as they tend to charge very high Customs handling fees.
3. Security? Probably will be opened by Canada Customs.

Thank You PMM
I had checked with USPS (United States Postal Service) and not UPS. Their charges looked reasonable, but I will check again.
Thanks again.
