How to import from Bangladesh to Canada
- 1
Shortlist Bangladeshi suppliers
Browse the product categories and supplier profiles on Exportain. Check each company's products, certifications and verification badges, and message the ones that fit.
- 2
Request quotations
Post a request for quotation (RFQ) with the product specification, quantity, packaging and the Incoterm you want (for example FOB at the Bangladeshi port of loading, or CIF to your own port), so suppliers quote on the same basis.
- 3
Approve samples and agree terms
Approve a pre-production sample before bulk production, agree the payment terms (for example a letter of credit or bank transfer) and, if you want one, book a third-party pre-shipment inspection.
- 4
Ship with the right documents
Your supplier provides the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or air waybill and a certificate of origin. Check them against your order before the goods leave Bangladesh.
- 5
Clear customs in Canada
Goods are declared to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) under their HS code; a freight forwarder or customs broker usually files the declaration for you. Before the first shipment you will need a business number with an import-export (RM) program account from the Canada Revenue Agency. The duty and tax due depend on the HS code and the goods' origin: ask your customs broker before you confirm the order.
