Non-Resident Importer (NRI)

NRI simplifies the ordering process for foreign businesses selling to Canadian customers. Foreign exporters can sell to Canada on a delivered-price basis thanks to the Canada Border Services Agency initiative, making the transaction feel like a Canadian domestic transaction and taking the burden of importing off the Canadian purchaser. The Non-Resident Importer (NRI) program offers foreign companies the opportunity to do business in Canada without a physical footprint which limits startup cost.


DP World offers an experienced team that acts as a conduit to escape customs hassles and customer concerns. In addition, we can assist in navigating your company through the setup process for your Canadian importer number.
