B2B Import from Canada to France

Would you like to import goods from Canada to France and book them quickly and easily? And have full cost and price transparency at the same time? With LetMeShip’s multi-carrier shipping platform, it’s easy with integrated price comparison and track & trace.

In 2022, France imported goods worth around 3.2 billion euros from Canada. This puts the country in 19th place among the most important import partners outside the EU. However, the commodity agreement concluded between France and Canada in September 2023 is likely to increase the importance of the North American country for French foreign trade and French companies in the future. This is all the more the case as French industry – pharmaceuticals, automotive, defence, aviation, telecommunications, etc. – not only sources production goods from abroad, but also has a high demand for raw materials that cannot be met from national deposits. The most important imported goods in 2022 were ores, slag and ashes; aerospace technology; machinery; oilseeds, oleaginous fruits and cereals; electronics and electronic equipment.

Express import of goods from Canada

The shipping times for importing goods vary depending on the selected shipping option, pick-up location and delivery location. Due to the long distances involved, we always recommend an express import from Canada to France if shipments are particularly urgent or need to be delivered by a certain date. Our shipping partners such as UPS, DHL Express, TNT or FedEx guarantee you prioritised customs clearance as well as fast and reliable delivery.

Customs duties for French importers

The free trade agreement CETA exists between Canada and the European Union, which has largely abolished customs duties in bilateral trade. Nevertheless, all goods must still go through the regular customs process. The requirements for importers are fairly straightforward. Especially if you book via a multi-carrier shipping platform. Nevertheless, as the importer (the client of a shipment), you should make sure that the shipping documents are available to the exporter (shipper).
