What we do
Every step between your supplier and Canadian customs
Seventeen services covering classification, valuation, duty calculation, bonds, CARM onboarding and the logistics around them.

A customs broker that answers the phone
Located in Longueuil, Québec — between Montreal and the US border — Maska International specializes in making international trade operations straightforward.
Customs work is unforgiving: one wrong tariff code, one missing certificate, and a truck sits at the border while storage fees accumulate. Our job is to make sure that does not happen to you.
We handle the full range — customs clearance by highway, sea and air; tariff classification; valuation; duty and tax calculation; customs bonds; recordkeeping; and the logistics coordination around them.
Whether you are a first-time importer with a single container or a fleet operator moving trucks every week, you get the same thing: a broker who knows your file, answers when you call, and tells you what a decision will actually cost.
Learn moreSwift authorizations
Rapid cross-border movement with our USA Export ITN# service — usually the same business day.
Specialized expertise
Deep experience in vehicle imports, fruits, vegetables and other regulated commercial goods.
24/7 availability
Time zones do not stop your shipments, so they do not stop our support either.
Digital pioneers
Electronic Data Interchange keeps your declarations moving without manual re-entry.
The person behind the file
Anton Kaioukov
Founder · Customs Broker
A shipment rarely stalls because the rules are hard. It stalls because someone assumed.
Anton Kaioukov founded Maska International in Longueuil. The firm has stayed deliberately small: the person who quotes your clearance is the person who files it, and the person you reach when a truck is held at the line.
