IMPORTING TO CANADA
As an export/import business seeking to optimize profits, while attempting to minimize one's exposure to diverse legal and regulatory regimes, it is essential that sufficient recognition be given to the laws and regulations of the country into which your business is importing its products. As such, your business should attain the appropriate legal advice when importing into Canada.
Canada’s regulatory regime has become increasingly burdensome and technical over the years, for a multitude of reasons. This has made regulatory compliance an increasingly important aspect of the importing process, forcing importers to be ever more rigorous in their application of the law and regulations, while looking to the advice of experienced legal professionals to guide their decisions. Failure to give the appropriate level of consideration required by the Canadian Border Services Agency and other governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, can have serious implications for the short- term profitability and long-term viability of your business operations in Canada. When products are seize and/or penalties and fines are levied, the underlying purpose of your Canadian venture is challenged. As such, your intention should be to achieve regulatory compliance and transparency in your importing process, so as to best reduce the costs and delays that could otherwise arise from non-compliance.

It is our intention to create a fluid and transparent system through which your business can effectively operate within Canada and thereby optimize its profit potential. Yes, it is a complex and challenging legal and regulatory business environment, nevertheless, with the appropriate legal team at your side the potential from the Canadian market can be extremely lucrative.
EXPORTING FROM CANADA
In an increasingly global marketplace, it is imperative to continue the expansion of one’s business operations beyond Canada’s national borders. Yet to properly realize the profit potential attainable through this export venture, the process is central to its success. Without a well-conceived and implemented export process, much of the realizable profit potential can be lost.
Designing and maintaining an efficient export process can be an arduous undertaking, given the degree of legal and regulatory requirements that can be necessitated to satisfy competing foreign demands that are required of global importers and exporters. We operate in a highly scrutinized global business environment, where foreign governments have seized substantial control over the export process through their intense regulations and business entities (both partners and competitors) are not necessarily honest and truthful in their operations.
With such challenges to the export process, many of which may not be immediately evident, it is essential that your export process be continually maintained and optimized. Your legal team is central to this process and their engagement in shaping and directing your export efforts should not be minimized or otherwise overlooked. They play a critical role in positioning your business for success in the international export market.
