Canadian customers who have a residence in the
United States but who do not have a U.S. Social

and who wish to ship an order to the U.S., must
obtain a CBP-issued Ultimate Consignee identification
number.

Canadian customers who reside outside the United
States and who wish to send a gift to the U.S.
must obtain a CBP-issued Ultimate Consignee
Identification number.
