Printing Canada Post CN22 Labels

If you do alot of cross-border shipping, you no doubt have a whack of CN22 customs forms to fill-out everyday. This template should make your life just a little easier.

The word template is a mail-merge master designed for 5-up customs form printing (they come packaged in strips of 5). If you don't fill out a value or weight, it will leave them blank. If you do, it'll add $ and KG as appropriate. I've provided a sample Word data-source, but you can feed it from anything you like.

As you can see, it's not perfect, but it's not bad either. It's certainly easier than filling them out by hand!

Where do you get these labels? Your local Post Office or did you order them. I called and they said they stopped making them a year and a half ago. The new White CN22s are an eyesore and a pain to use.

These are product# 543074076 in the OBC store (Packaging Products -> Specialty Mailers, then find "543074076 / GREEN CUSTOMS STICKERS"). Officially you need to be a contract customer to order them from the OBC.

Your local post office should be able to order them for you, in packs of 25 or 100 as 43-074-076. You will likely need to show them a venture-one card though, I don't believe they're in common use for retail-counter sales. The commercial order desk should be able to sort out any confusion.
