Grow Your Customer Base & Gain More Market Share
The Non-Resident Importer Program is designed specifically for the benefit of US companies who would like to sell on a delivered basis to their Canadian customers, control the Customs process and streamline their paperwork.
As a Non-Resident Importer (NRI) the company is considered the importer of record for shipments going into Canada, even though the company is not physically located in Canada. By becoming an NRI, you will relieve your Canadian customers of the responsibilities of importation and you will be able to quote delivered pricing, which will simplify and potentially increase sales in Canada.
Why become an NRI? Because it is: Simple. Smooth. Efficient.
- Sell on the “delivered” price, buyers will know their final price at purchase
- Remove the border for your customers, thereby creating a domestic purchase environment
- Control the process by managing the border, realize on time delivery
- Increase sales through direct marketing by accessing the Canadian Market
- Secure your profits, manage your delivered pricing
- Empower your sales team, allow your sales team to focus on product and price
