Important Tracking Information:
CSA utilizes two separate tracking systems:
- Canada Domestic & Cross-Border Tracking: For shipments that are within, entering or exiting Canada.
- US Domestic Tracking: Exclusively for shipments that originate and conclude within the United States.
Please be aware that our portal does not currently facilitate the generation of online rates for US Domestic shipments. For these rate requests, direct communication with the CSA customer care team is required.
