Freight invoice generator for Canadian carriers and logistics teams
Create a Canadian freight invoice for carriers, freight forwarders, brokers and logistics providers billing linehaul, fuel surcharge, handling, storage, customs documentation, detention, demurrage and delivery charges.
Canadian freight invoices need shipment evidence and clear tax treatment. The payer may need the BOL, AWB, PRO, load number, origin, destination, weight, accessorial authorization and domestic or international GST/HST note before approving payment.
What a Canadian freight invoice should include
A freight invoice should let accounts payable match the charge to the shipment without asking dispatch for backup. Include the route, shipment references, payer and charge detail that connect to the consignment file.
- Carrier, forwarder, broker or logistics provider name, business number and GST/HST account where applicable.
- Bill-to payer, shipper, consignee, broker, third-party payer, PO or job reference.
- BOL, AWB, PRO, load, container, shipment, tracking or rate-confirmation reference.
- Pickup and delivery dates, origin, destination, route and mode.
- Pieces, pallets, cartons, weight, dimensions, commodity or freight description.
- Linehaul, fuel surcharge, detention, demurrage, storage, documentation, liftgate, residential delivery and customs fees separately.
GST/HST on domestic and international freight
CRA freight guidance says a freight transportation service supplied in Canada is generally subject to GST/HST unless a zero-rating rule applies. International freight and qualifying domestic services that form part of an international movement can be zero-rated.
Do not blend a domestic taxable shipment with an international or interlined shipment on one generic tax line. Split the charges so the GST/HST treatment follows the actual route and evidence.
Accessorials and incidental services
CRA guidance treats services incidental to freight transportation, such as loading and unloading, as part of the freight transportation service in the right circumstances. Keep detention, demurrage, storage, re-delivery, liftgate and documentation charges separate but connected to the shipment.
Freight invoice vs commercial invoice
A freight invoice bills the transport service. A commercial invoice describes goods, value, origin, HS code and Incoterms for customs. Use this tool to charge for freight; use the commercial invoice generator when the document must travel with the goods for customs clearance.
