Stop Overpaying on Import Duties
Most importers pay more duty than they are legally required to. This happens for several reasons: incorrect HS code classification, failure to claim preferential tariff treatment under free trade agreements, missed drawback opportunities, and lack of awareness of available duty relief programs.
Viacan conducts a comprehensive duty analysis of your import profile to identify every opportunity to legally reduce your customs duty costs. For many clients, this analysis reveals savings that far exceed the cost of our services.
Duty Reduction Strategies We Deploy
CUSMA / USMCA Preference Claims
Qualify goods of US or Mexican origin for zero or reduced duty rates under the Canada-US-Mexico Agreement.
Free Trade Agreement Utilization
Canada has FTAs with the EU (CETA), UK (CUKTCA), Israel, Chile, Colombia, and others — we identify which apply to your goods.
Tariff Classification Optimization
Legally reclassify goods to lower-duty HS codes where supportable by the product's characteristics.
Tariff Relief Programs
Apply for duty remissions or tariff relief orders where available for specific goods or industries.
Duty Drawback Claims
Recover duties paid on imported goods that are subsequently exported or used in exported manufactured products.
Customs Bonded Warehouses
Defer duty payment by storing imported goods in a bonded warehouse until they are sold or re-exported.
