Trinidad & Tobago Businesses Sourcing with a Canadian Address!

Receiving Goods in Canada for Shipping to Trinidad

Are you a business owner or individual in Trinidad and Tobago looking to expand your sourcing options beyond local shores? Do you find incredible deals on products from China or need to access the vast Canadian market, but face hurdles with shipping and delivery? The solution might be simpler (and closer!) than you think: securing a Canadian address to facilitate your international imports.

At Jet Worldwide, we understand the unique challenges faced by Trinidad and Tobago businesses and consumers when it comes to global logistics. That's why we're highlighting a powerful strategy to streamline your import process, reduce costs, and open up a world of possibilities: utilizing a Canadian receiving address for your international orders.

Why a Canadian Address is Your Gateway to Global Goods:

Direct Access to Canadian and Chinese Markets: Many Canadian businesses and Chinese suppliers offer preferential shipping rates or even exclusive product lines within North America. A Canadian address allows you to tap into these opportunities as if you were a local buyer.

• Consolidation for Cost Savings: Imagine ordering multiple items from various Chinese suppliers and different Canadian retailers. Instead of paying individual shipping fees for each, your Canadian address acts as a central hub. We can receive all your parcels, consolidate them into a single, larger shipment, and then forward it to Trinidad and Tobago.
• Simplified Logistics: Dealing with international customs and multiple shipping companies can be a headache. With a Canadian address, your initial steps become localized. We handle the receipt and preparation of your goods in Canada, and ship to Trinidad and Tobago on your behalf.
• Reliable Delivery to Trinidad and Tobago: Once your goods arrive at our Canadian facility, we leverage our expertise in international shipping to ensure secure and efficient delivery to your doorstep in Trinidad and Tobago. We understand the customs regulations and import duties for TT, helping you navigate the process smoothly. (Note: Trinidad and Tobago applies a 7% online purchase tax on goods imported by air and consigned to a consumer, in addition to standard duties and VAT. Duty rates typically average 20-30% on the "landed cost" – Cost, Insurance, Freight – plus 12.5% VAT. Computer laptops and educational books are often exempt from duty and VAT).
• Peace of Mind: Knowing your purchases have a secure receiving point in Canada and are handled by experienced professionals offers unparalleled peace of mind. No more worrying about lost packages or complicated international returns.

The Challenge of shipping to Canada

To put it simply, the shipping costs from Canada are significantly higher than via Miami or other USA hub.  Consolidation and economy air freight minimize the costs but they are still more expensive.
