B13A: Canada Export Shipping
The B13A is an export declaration form filed with Canada Customs by the Canadian exporter for all
outbound shipments consigned to countries other than the United States, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin
Islands that exceeds a customs value of $1999.99 CAD. The B13A is also required for shipments of
controlled commodities, as defined by Revenue Canada Customs and related agencies, regardless of the
value.
FSMS provides field 1651 (B13A Filing Options) for Canada export shipments. The values for this field
are:
• No B13A Required
• Manual B13A Required
• B13A Filing Electronically
• B13A Summary Reporting
This field is not required for shipments originating in countries other than Canada or for Canadian
document shipments. For more information regarding the field requirements for B13A filing options,
please see the FSMS TCR Version 7.6.
Bill Recipient/Bill Third Party
For both FedEx Express and FedEx Ground shipments, you may choose to bill shipping costs to either
the package recipient or a third party account in addition to the Sender/Shipper. For U.S. origin
shipments, you must include the recipient’s FedEx account number if you chose Bill Recipient as a
shipping option. A FedEx account number should also be supplied for the Bill Third Party option. For non-
U.S. origins, the recipient account number is not required.
When shipping Bill Recipient or Third Party, only List Rates will be provided if indicated. Discounted rate
quotes are only available for Bill Sender shipments.

COD shipping is allowed for both FedEx Express and FedEx Ground shipping (but is not allowed for
FedEx International or FedEx Home Delivery shipments).

from the consignee when a package is delivered. Enrollment is not required. COD checks are returned to
the shipper via FedEx Standard Overnight plus 90-minutes. Two labels (1 outbound & 1 inbound) print at
the time of shipping for automation customers.
