Tennessee has a strong economic connection with Canada. The implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement USMCA and CUSMA brings greater duty free shipping to Canada from Tennessee companies and online retailers.
Jet Worldwide helps Tennessee companies connect with Canadian suppliers and customers.

Becoming a Non-Resident Importer
By registering to become the importer of record, your company in Tennessee can ship to your customers in Canada without involving them in the import process. Learn more about becoming a non-resident importer.
Critical Thresholds: Most shipments via commercial courier valued under $150 CAD can be imported duty free. All shipments valued over $40 CAD are subject to provincial and federal sales tax.
E-commerce and Amazon Removal Orders
Canada is the largest international market for Tennessee e-commerce merchants. By using a Non-Resident Importer (NRI) program, businesses can consolidate orders into one customs entry to save on fees.
