Non-Resident Importer

Your Canadian market is important to your company. That’s why your company ships into Canada as a Non-Resident Importer.

A Non-Resident Importer (NRI) is a company who in most cases does not have a physical presence in Canada, yet for purposes of customs and GST, acts as the importer of record for goods sold/consigned into Canada. As an NRI, you will relieve your Canadian customers of the responsibilities of importation, making it easier for them to buy from you.

With the increasing demand for imports into Canada as a result of free-trade, many U.S. companies are discovering the commercial advantages of selling to their Canadian customers on a landed basis in order to expand their markets north of the border.
