Routing Instructions for Shipping from 0 to 150 lbs. per piece. Last updated: August 8, 2012
For shipping to the USA by ground only
Step 1: Create a shipment
a) Create the shipment as usual from your Purolator shipping system, or Purolator waybill. Ensure you enter "CN CUSTOMS BROKERAGE" in the broker field for ground shipments (Broker Code PCLBRK0092 - USE5L-CN RAIL BROKERAGE).
b) Bill Third Party to account number 014445415 for on-line shipping, and 004445415 for manual waybills.
c) In the third party billing name & address box, specify "CN, 935 de la Gauchetiere West, Montreal, Quebec, H3B 2M9"
For shipping to the USA by Air (Express) only
For all emergency shipments in excess of 200 lbs, please call Greg Lawless at (514) 399-5215.
Step 2: Customs Instructions
a) Prepare the Customs Invoice as usual. Always specify "CN RAIL" as the sender or receiver company name.
b) For shipments to the USA, make sure you write "CN CUSTOMS BROKERAGE to clear" on the Customs Invoice (ground)
1) Please do not use courier express services unless there is no better option. Select the most cost effective alternative as your first choice.
 | Originating in Canada |
| Email | Free |
| Fax, 10 pages including long distance charges and paper | $0.50 |
| Canada Post / Large 6 ounce envelope under 2 lbs. | $0.98 to $4.50 |
| Courier Services, starting at: | PUROLATOR $4.20 |
2) Consolidate multiple shipments to the same destination (ship weekly to cut costs).
3) Please do not use Canada Post "Priority Courier" service, "Xpress post" services or USPS express services. These are the same as other courier services and CN does not get a discount for these services.
4) Please do not use other courier companies. These services are extremely expensive because CN does not get a discount for these services.
5) Please do not ask Purolator, UPS or any other courier companies for same-day delivery. Local companies provide a more reliable and more competitive same-day service.
6) FOR CN EMPLOYEES: Please refer to the CNInet web page (http://cninet.cn.ca/Courier/) for more instructions, additional cost saving options, rates and packaging.
