Can't ship expedited to the states with stamps??

I went today with a few packages to canada post, I use postage stamps. She said its not possible to ship expedited using postage stamps anymore:(

 

Is this true? The lineup gets pretty long, is there a way to just drop off exp shipments without standing there? For my other mail I just drop off

I dont use online labels, only stamps. Is it possible to just use stamps or are labels the only option?

If you are using the two part label, you stick the stamps onto the part you take home. The clerk postmarks them first.

I believe that there is someone posts on this board who uses stamps and has mentioned using expedited...hopefully they will see this thread and can confirm that. I'm fairly sure that you can still use stamps but Canada Post does now require that for U.S. expedited and xpresspost parcels you need a customs form with an HS code (a code for customs that describes the item you are sending) and a bar code.  You can fill out and print that part of the paperwork from your computer. The form you need to fill out is here ... https://www.canadapost.ca/cpotools/apps/cdc?execution=e1s1

I don't know if that form gives you a link for HS codes but you can find the code at the following url

NO. The clerk was ill informed.
