CETA
European Union
27 countries, and almost all tariff lines duty-free for goods of EU origin. The origin statement on the supplier's invoice is what unlocks it.
Your outsourced import and export department
Import. Export.
Made easy.
One manager runs the whole deal for you: the contract, the documents, the shipment, customs and payment, from the first quote to the goods at the door. You sign and approve. We run everything else.
- We run

Documents change with the goods, the countries and the bank. The review call turns this into the checklist for your actual deal.
Rebalance your supply
Buy from Europe. Duty-free, if the paperwork is right.
Tariffs across the Canada and US border keep moving. Every supplier you add in Europe, the UK or Ukraine is a hedge, and Canada already has agreements that take the duty off most of their goods.
CUKTCA
United Kingdom
CETA terms carried over for UK goods, with the same rule: no valid proof of origin, no preference.
CUFTA
Ukraine
Duty-free entry for most Ukrainian goods. We work with Ukrainian producers directly, in their language.
We run the switch
- European suppliers found and checked
- Landed cost compared with your current US source
- First deals run end to end, origin proof in hand
What we run
One manager for the whole deal, not five vendors to chase.
An import or an export touches a supplier, a bank, a forwarder, a customs broker and a contract. Usually you are the one holding them together. On subcontract, we are.

Working tools
Run the numbers before you sign the PO.
Three tools used in real engagements, free to use here. Nothing you type leaves this page.
Landed cost estimator
What one shipment really costs by the time it reaches your door. Canada and the US value duty on the FOB value; the EU, the UK and most of the world use CIF. The estimator applies the right base.
Incoterms® 2020, who pays and who carries the risk
Pick a rule. The chain shows which party pays for each leg, and the marker shows where the risk of loss moves from seller to buyer. Cost and risk often move at different points; that gap is where disputes start.
Incoterms® is a trademark of the International Chamber of Commerce. This is a reading aid for the 2020 rules, not a substitute for the text of the rules or the contract.

Questions
Before you book
Are you a licensed customs broker?
No. Customs entries in Canada are filed by licensed customs brokers or by the importer itself. EasyImpEx advises, prepares the classification, valuation and origin work, and coordinates with your broker, or with a licensed broker partner if you do not have one.
Do you buy the goods and resell them?
No. You stay the buyer or the seller, and the importer or exporter of record. Money goes directly between you and your counterparty; we never hold it. We act for you under a written mandate.
Are you a freight company?
No trucks, vessels or warehouses of our own, and no margin on freight. We choose the forwarder and carrier for each deal, book them for you and manage them until delivery.
Can our own team take it over later?
Yes. Every deal leaves a complete file and a checklist. When you are ready to bring the function in-house, we train your people on your own deals and step back.
Which countries do you cover?
Imports into Canada from anywhere, exports from Canada to anywhere, and foreign companies selling into Canada. The management travels; local filings are always made through licensed parties in the country concerned.
How is it priced, and how do I pay?
A fixed fee per deal, or a monthly fee when we run your trade department on an ongoing basis. Agreed before work starts. Pay online by card through the secure payment page above, or by invoice and bank transfer.
Do you take referral fees from brokers or forwarders?
If a partner we recommend would ever pay us for the introduction, you are told before you sign, in writing. The recommendation is made on your landed cost, not on ours.
How does the free trade brief work?
The trade agreement, the regulator and the document list are checked by our own rules on the page. The route, cost drivers and risks are drafted by Gemini, running in our own Google Workspace, and verified by a manager before any work starts. Your request is stored in our own files only.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is trade management. Contracts are prepared from proven templates for your review; where a deal needs a lawyer or a binding ruling from the customs authority, we say so and brief them for you.
