What Is a Non-Resident Importer?
A Non-Resident Importer (NRI) is a company or individual located outside of Canada who acts as the Importer of Record (IOR) for shipments into Canada. As the IOR, you take legal responsibility for customs compliance, including accurate valuation, classification, documentation, and payment of duties and taxes.
This lets you:
– Offer landed costs to your buyers
– Maintain smoother cross-border logistics
– Take control of the customer experience
– Avoid forcing your customers to act as importers
Streamline your Canadian imports with full NRI support.
