Address for Sea Shipment

[atzquebec]

Hi,

1. Would it be okay if they sender name and recipient name are different while shipping (Sea) belongings to Canada ? The recipient name will be same as the one mentioned mentioned in Goods to Follow form.

2. Can the recipient address (in Canada) be changed later ? Considering one may not have a permanent address at the time of sending the items, and the address mentioned would change, once he/she rents an apartment after reaching Canada.

The address doesn't matter much as you will still need to go through customs clearance first and pick up your stuff from the agent's warehouse.

Thanks for the above reply.

Who does the customs clearance ? If its door to door, wouldn't the agent clear the goods and deliver to an address ?.

If its door to door then:

1. Is it possible to change the address later (after the goods have been dispatched) ?
2. Can the sender and recipient names be different ? Recipient name will be same as in the 'Goods to Follow' form

1) You have to clear customs. Or you can your relocation company to go with you to the customs office. You will have check with your relocation company the address change. After the clearance, your goods would be ready for delivery to your address.
2) You can contact CBSA for more info.
