Electronics & Components
Consumer electronics, IT hardware, and electronic components between North-American distributors and GCC retailers and re-exporters.
International Trade
Moving goods between North America, Europe, and the Gulf.
Sourcing, contracting, freight forwarding, and customs — handled by a small team that has done this for two decades and answers in the same time zone as your buyer.
The Practice
End-to-end trade, run by people who have shipped before.
We are not a marketplace, a broker network, or a software platform. We are a small trade desk that takes responsibility for moving a container from the factory floor to your warehouse — and for everything that has to be true along the way.
Our clients typically come to us when their existing arrangement has failed: a supplier that ghosted, a customs file that stalled, or a contract that didn't survive contact with reality. We rebuild those relationships and run the operation properly — letters of credit, Incoterms that mean what you think they mean, and freight options priced honestly.
We operate primarily between Canadian and U.S. ports (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Long Beach), the GCC (Jebel Ali, Hamad, Dammam), and selected European hubs (Rotterdam, Antwerp, Felixstowe).
Sectors
Six categories of goods we move regularly.
We focus where we have buyer and seller relationships on both ends. If your category is not here, ask — we may know someone who can.
Agricultural Commodities
Canadian pulses, grains, and oilseeds into Gulf and South-Asian buyers. Container and bulk vessel programs supported.
Industrial Equipment
Used and new heavy equipment, generators, and industrial spares. End-user verification and re-export documentation included.
Textiles & Apparel
South-Asian textile manufacturers into Canadian and U.S. wholesale and private-label buyers. QC inspection on request.
Packaged Food & FMCG
Shelf-stable food, beverages, and FMCG. CFIA, FDA, and SFDA labelling and registration handled end-to-end.
Automotive & Spare Parts
Canadian and U.S. auto parts into Gulf and African markets. VIN-verified used vehicles for personal export on request.
Engagement Types
Three ways to work with the trade desk.
We Find the Supplier
You have the buyer; you need the goods. We identify, vet, and contract suppliers across Canada, the U.S., Pakistan, India, and the Gulf — with QC inspection, sample approval, and a fixed delivered price before you commit.
- Supplier shortlist with verified company filings
- Sample dispatch, lab testing, and pre-shipment inspection
- Letter-of-credit or escrow structuring
- Delivered-to-door pricing — no surprises at customs
We Find the Buyer
You have the goods; you need a market. We represent Canadian and U.S. manufacturers into the GCC and South-Asian wholesale channel — distributor introductions, contracts, and ongoing account management on your behalf.
- Market-entry study and pricing benchmark
- Distributor / agent shortlist with reference checks
- Contract negotiation under Canadian or English law
- Quarterly account reviews and collections support
We Run the Shipment
You have the deal; you need it landed. Ocean and air freight booking, customs clearance at origin and destination, certificates of origin, and CARM-ready import declarations into Canada.
- FCL, LCL, and air-freight rate negotiation
- HS-code classification and duty-recovery review
- CARM (Canada) and ACE (U.S.) import filings
- Cargo insurance and dispute handling

On-Time Delivery
How We Work
From RFQ to receipt, in four phases.
Brief
You describe the goods, the volumes, and the destination. We quote a delivered price and a realistic timeline within five working days.
Contract
We agree commercial terms — Incoterms, payment instrument, QC standard, and the named individuals responsible at each stage.
Execute
Production, inspection, booking, and customs filings. Daily status updates while goods are in motion; no news only when there is none.
Land & Reconcile
Receipt confirmed, documents archived, duty drawback claimed where available. Post-shipment review on every engagement.
Trade Desk FAQ
Common questions on the first call.
For new clients we generally take projects of one full container (FCL) or above, or LCL consolidations with a delivered value of CAD $25,000+. Smaller projects are considered case by case when there is a path to scale.
For sourcing and freight, we quote a delivered-to-door price with our margin transparently disclosed. For export representation, we work on a monthly retainer plus performance commission. Either model is set out in writing before work begins.
We do not handle weapons, defence equipment, or items subject to Canadian Controlled Goods or U.S. ITAR regulation. We do handle dual-use items where appropriate end-use certificates and Global Affairs permits can be obtained.
Yes. First-time exporters are often our most rewarding clients. We will walk you through Incoterms, payment instruments, documentation, and the realities of the lane before you commit capital — and we will tell you honestly if your unit economics don't work.
