Description: Sell To Canada Trade Services helps companies sell into the Canadian market as a Non-Resident Importer (NRI), without opening a Canadian office, incorporating locally, or hiring a Canadian team.

Canada is the largest export market for most U.S. businesses, but its import rules can feel like a wall. Registration, tax, and labelling requirements pile up fast, and companies that assume it works like domestic shipping lose weeks or months to false starts, held shipments, and unclear rules. Getting a Business Number, registering with the Canada Border Services Agency’s CARM system, posting the required import security (bond), meeting GST/HST obligations, and satisfying bilingual (English and French) labelling requirements are all prerequisites to moving product across the border cleanly. We handle that setup end to end.

Our goal: we simplify the process, cut the time and resources wasted getting started, and find the most cost-effective strategies for entering the Canadian market and scaling once you are in.

Our services cover:

  • Non-Resident Importer program setup
  • CRA Business Number and GST/HST registration
  • CBSA CARM registration and import security coordination
  • Bilingual labelling and consumer-packaging compliance
  • Canadian market-entry and sales-channel strategy
  • Ongoing managed compliance so you stay CARM-Ready as you grow

Beyond setup: we act as your single point of contact into a vetted network of Canadian partners: a licensed customs brokerage, freight forwarding, trucking, warehousing and 3PL providers, and sector-specific experts for more complex builds. That means one relationship on your side of the table and a coordinated team on ours, matched to how you plan to sell.

We support both B2C and B2B sellers, from direct-to-consumer and Amazon.ca launches to companies supplying Canadian retailers, distributors, and wholesale buyers, including multi-channel and more complex setups. We translate Canadian customs, tax, and regulatory requirements into a clear, executable plan, with typical setup running two to four weeks. Whichever way you sell, we get you importing under your own name, in control of your inventory and your customer relationships.

Based in the Nation’s capital, Ottawa, we serve exporters worldwide who ship into Canada, with established lanes from the United States and Europe.

Contact us to find out what selling into Canada actually requires, before it costs you a delayed shipment.

Global Business Navigator Chatbot Beta

Welcome to the Global Business Navigator, an artificial intelligence (AI) Chatbot from the International Trade Administration (ITA). This tool, currently in beta version testing, is designed to provide general information on the exporting process and the resources available to assist new and experienced U.S. exporters. The Chatbot, developed using Microsoft’s Azure AI services, is trained on ITA’s export-related content and aims to quickly get users the information they need. The Chatbot is intended to make the benefits of exporting more accessible by understanding non-expert language, idiomatic expressions, and foreign languages.

Limitations

As a beta product, the Chatbot is currently being tested and its responses may occasionally produce inaccurate or incomplete information. The Chatbot is trained to decline out of scope or inappropriate requests. The Chatbot’s knowledge is limited to the public information on the Export Solutions web pages of Trade.gov, which covers a wide range of topics on exporting. While it cannot provide responses specific to a company’s product or a specific foreign market, its reference pages will guide you to other relevant government resources and market research. Always double-check the Chatbot’s responses using the provided references or by visiting the Export Solutions web pages on Trade.gov. Do not use its responses as legal or professional advice. Inaccurate advice from the Chatbot would not be a defense to violating any export rules or regulations.

Privacy

The Chatbot does not collect information about users and does not use the contents of users’ chat history to learn new information. All feedback is anonymous. Please do not enter personally identifiable information (PII), sensitive, or proprietary information into the Chatbot. Your conversations will not be connected to other interactions or accounts with ITA. Conversations with the Chatbot may be reviewed to help ITA improve the tool and address harmful, illegal, or otherwise inappropriate questions.

Translation

The Chatbot supports a wide range of languages. Because the Chatbot is trained in English and responses are translated, you should verify the translation. For example, the Chatbot may have difficulty with acronyms, abbreviations, and nuances in a language other than English.
