## Approach Canada with insight

### Extended inland rail network

Most inland deliveries go by rail, travelling in-bond to clear customs only after they reach the rail terminal.

### Keep trucking through customs

Full-truckload is the most common mode for freight crossing the CA-US border. A broker who can manage time-sensitive customs processes is key to keeping shipments moving.

### Plan for winter

Cold snaps can reduce rail shipments, adding pressure to the overall system. In April, thawing usually lowers truck-load weight limits for about three weeks.

## Canada shipping keys to success

Insist on full visibility from origin to destination for all shipments. Proactively manage suppliers, by keeping communication lines open while consistently sharing your shipping forecasts with logistics partners.

## More visibility. More control. Less huh?

Track all your containers, products, exceptions, clearances and more on the Flexport Platform. Leave the black box of global shipping where it belongs: in the past.
