Cross-Border Logistics Software for Canada–US Shipping Documents

Canada-US shipments depend on clean paperwork. LogixFlow lets you build a cross-border document workflow that matches how your team and your customs broker work: capture shipment data once, collect the commercial invoice, packing list and origin records, check for missing information, and send a complete package to your broker or carrier. AI agents read documents and emails so your team stops retyping them. Start free, no credit card required.

Where cross-border paperwork goes wrong

Shipments between Canada and the United States are handled under two sets of rules, administered by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Delays often start well before the border: a missing invoice line, a wrong tariff classification, an unsigned origin record, or a document sitting in someone’s inbox.

LogixFlow does not file with CBSA or CBP, and it does not replace a licensed customs broker. It does the work that happens before and around filing: collecting, checking, organizing and tracking the documents your broker needs.

How a cross-border workflow runs

  1. Order or booking created. Enter it manually, import it, or have the Email Reader agent create it from a customer email.
  2. Documents collected. Staff or customers upload files; the File Reader and Document Classifier agents read and sort them.
  3. Checks run. Required fields, missing documents and mismatches between invoice and packing list are flagged before anything goes to the broker.
  4. Approval. A supervisor reviews exceptions in the app.
  5. Handoff to broker or carrier. The complete package is sent with an audit trail.
  6. Tracking and updates. Drivers and dock staff update status on mobile; customers get notifications.

Frequently asked questions

Companies use customs brokerage platforms, transportation management systems and document tools. LogixFlow is a no-code platform for the document and workflow side: it collects and checks the paperwork, then hands it to your broker or carrier.

No. Filing is done by your customs broker or carrier. LogixFlow prepares and organizes the documents and data they need. No customs broker or customs-system integration is live today, so the document package is shared with your broker by email.

Typically a commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading. Depending on the goods and the claim made, you may also need origin records for CUSMA preferential treatment and permits for regulated goods. Check requirements with your customs broker and the CBSA and CBP websites.

Yes, as data you define: you can capture origin details and supporting documents per product and require them before handoff. LogixFlow does not decide whether a product qualifies; your trade compliance team or broker does.

The File Reader agent extracts text from PDFs and scans (OCR), and the Document Classifier agent sorts incoming documents by type. Your team reviews exceptions.

Yes. LogixTMS, the TMS software on LogixFlow, tracks cross-border loads alongside domestic ones and keeps commercial invoices, bills of lading and other customs paperwork attached to the shipment through LogixDocs.
