Ive never shipped a ball to Canada, but have done quite a few headlight parts.
I usually just write exactly what it is on the customs form and never had a problem. I shipped a ballast to Scotland and it was there in 5 days. To Canada its usually about a 2 week shipping period because they will check out the box.

I ship most places overseas, Canada as well and USPS is usually cheaper and faster. There's 2 different customs forms, depending on weight and amount of item. I always go with the 2976-A form. It's larger, but that one covers everything they will want to know. Has a plastic sleeve, 2976 also to put it in, just don't close it up until you drop it off, they stamp it and give you a copy.

Good Luck !

I used to always use USPS to ship to Canada but my recent shipments have shown to be different.

My last 3 ball shipment to London, Ontario showed a $5 savings to use UPS instead of teh USPS.

SO it's UPS within North America. If I have to cross big r USPS is still the way to go.
