You need to fill out another form...
It's just like a declaration document, that specifies the contents and their value. USPS has the same deal. I actually found that USPS shipped faster sometimes, but not sure if that was a total fluke.

You need the following ; please use USPS as UPS will overcharge brokerage fees BIG TIME.
You need a "commercial invoice" (even if it's non-commercial). You can take the form from any transporter, it doesn't matter...
Here is a link to one commercial invoice (.PDF) : http://www.aircanada.com/en/fedex/CI_Form-Schedule_D.pdf
If you're selling used stuff to somebody, I suggest that you put the declared value as low as possible, for the buyer. $20CAD or lower, you don't have any brokerage fees... Above that, the buyer will pay 15% taxes approximately + a brokerage fee (10$+). UPS is the worst, I mean it. Don't use them to ship to Canada. Use USPS, it will cost 4 times less in term of brokerage fees...
Write the following:
Invoice Number : Non-Commercial
Terms of Sale : Non-Commercial
Related Parties : No
... and don't bother for the "international way bill number" if you don't ship with FedEx...

It's not a big deal, not worth going by usps at all. actually, no difference when you go to a ups
store. we just ask you whats inside and you need a value and a phone number for the recipient. we fill out the other form and send it with the required 4 copies. to cut down on duties, we usually say it's a gift. even if there are duties, the recipient pays them, after all he is buying something from you, just like i'm sure he pays shipping.
