I.E.Canada advocates on behalf of Canadian importers and exporters with the aim of facilitating the flow of international trade, which is so vital to the economic prosperity of our country.
Ensuring the smooth flow of goods across borders today goes well beyond filling out the proper customs paperwork 
and paying the applicable duties and taxes. At the global and national levels, a vast array of initiatives intended to address security, as well as health and safety and environmental concerns, are impacting the international movement of goods. Drawing upon the experience and expertise of its members and supported by a small but dedicated team of professional staff, I.E.Canada tackles a broad range of issues from the modernization and simplification of customs procedures to export controls to food and consumer product safety.
I.E.Canada's approach is one of collaboration. Through our membership we are able to bring together a diverse range of interests. We also work with other trade associations and industry stakeholders, both in Canada and the United States, to find solutions that advance the interests of the Canadian trading community, while meeting the needs of regulators and consumers.
Our committees play an integral part in this advocacy work.
