As with most countries, a registered entity is required to import dual-use tech goods into Canada compliantly. Within Canadian borders, this entity is known as a Non-Resident Importer (NRI), which performs the same functions as that of an Importer of Record (IOR).
As Canadian customs have the right to inspect shipments at any time – it is extremely important that these goods have been correctly classified. Any error can result in major delays and fines. TecEx’s compliance database of HS codes ensures that no matter the part, your gear will be correctly classified.
A duty that may apply to certain items is Canada’s Special Import Measures Act (SIMA). Again, this is something that your NRI will be able to inform you of.
Canada, along with the US and Mexico, form part of the North American Free Trade Agreement. As with other FTAs, this aids in removing barriers to trade among party members. However, you will still need a locally registered entity to act as the NRI to clear your goods through customs.
