There is a lot of current buzz around the topic of Section 321. This provision allows for low-value entries, valued at $800 or less, to enter into the USA duty-free and without formal entry.
In addition to the above, Canada offers a business-friendly duty drawback program as well as a duty deferral program to established Canadian importers.
By combining these ideas and utilizing NRI’s Canadian facilities, this creates a duty-free program for USA destined e-commerce shipments. It does not require an FTZ or bonded facility to operate and it provides potentially significant improvements to your margins.
It is now possible to land product from factory directly into Canada for a single inventory solution for both the USA and Canada (or Globally).
