ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
ECONOMY
OVERVIEW
As an affluent, high-tech industrial society in the trillion-dollar class, Canada
resembles the US in its market-oriented economic system, pattern of production,
and affluent living standards. Since World War II, the impressive growth of the
manufacturing, mining, and service sectors has transformed the nation from a
largely rural economy into one primarily industrial and urban. The 1989 US-Canada
Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA) (which includes Mexico) touched off a dramatic increase in trade and
economic integration with the US, its principal trading partner. Canada enjoys a
substantial trade surplus with the US, which absorbs nearly 80% of Canadian
exports each year. Canada is the US's largest foreign supplier of energy, including
oil, gas, uranium, and electric power. Given its great natural resources, skilled labor
force, and modern capital plant, Canada enjoyed solid economic growth from 1993
through 2007. Buffeted by the global economic crisis, the economy dropped into a
sharp recession in the final months of 2008, and Ottawa posted its first fiscal deficit
in 2009 after 12 years of surplus. Canada's major banks, however, emerged from the
financial crisis of 2008-09 among the strongest in the world, owing to the country's
tradition of conservative lending practices and strong capitalization.

TRADE REGULATIONS
TRADE BARRIERS:
Non-tariff measures (NTMs), also known as non-tariff barriers, are government measures or
policies other than tariffs that unduly restrict or distort international trade. Technical barriers or
non-tariff barriers to trade as they are sometimes known as can cause many problems for
exporters looking for new markets for their products.  These barriers can be in the form of
regulations, standards, testing and certification procedures. The World Trade Organization
(WTO) Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade tries to ensure that these barriers do not create
unnecessary obstacles
Non-Tariff Measures in Various Agreements
World Trade Organisation (WTO) - GATT
North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)
Canada-Costa Rica Free Trade Agreement (CCRFTA) 
Canada-Chile Free Trade Agreement (CCFTA)
Canadian Taxes
Just about everything individuals import into Canada is subject to the Goods and Services Tax
(GST) of five percent. The GST is calculated after customs duties have been applied.
You will also have to pay the applicable Canadian Provincial Sales Tax (PST) or Quebec Sales
Tax (QST). The provincial retail sales tax rates vary from province to province, as do the goods
and services to which the tax is applied and the way the tax is applied.
In Canadian provinces with a Harmonized Sales Tax you'll be charged a flat 13 percent, rather
than separate GST and PST.
CUSTOMS TARIFF
CANADA
·         Duties
0-25%
·     GST 5%
·     QST 7.5% (Quebec)

The Customs Tariff is based on the World Customs Organization's (WCO) Harmonized
Commodity Description and Coding System (HS).

The Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS) forms the basis of
the Customs Tariff . The HS was developed and is maintained by the World Customs
Organization (WCO), an independent intergovernmental organization with over 160 member
countries, based in Brussels, Belgium.
The HS is structured upon a six-digit nomenclature. Almost 200 countries, representing about 98
percent of world trade use the HS as a basis for trade negotiations collecting international trade
statistics, quota controls, rules of origin and for statistical and economic research and analysis.

Customs Valuation
all goods shipped to Canada must have a value and description for the goods shipped. The value
is usually based on the transaction value between the shipper and the importer, in other-
words the sale value of the goods. However, if no actual transaction has taken place, for
example, a sample or a no charge shipment, there still must be a value assessed; this basically
would be the fair market value, or replacement value. Non-tangible items such as a cheque,
business documents, accounting documents, plane tickets, etc. must also be assessed a value, but
this should be based on the value of the paper rather than the actual value plane ticket or cheque.
While duties and taxes would not be assessed on these non-tangible items they still must be
reported to Canada Customs.
DOCUMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR IMPORTS:
Air Waybill – An air waybill or carriers certificate (naming the consignee for customs purposes)
as evidence of the consignee's right to make entry.

Commercial Invoice – Required for non-document shipments and to help prevent clearance
delays. It should be completed in English or French. If the CI is not completed in one of the legal
languages of Canada, the Canada Customs Revenue Agency (CCRA) may request a translation
from a party who is knowledgeable of the transaction, which will cause a clearance delay.
Specific invoice details are required for a number of commodities including the following:
Canada Customs Invoice Form CI1 (CCI) – Invoice developed by the Canadian government
for commercial shipments to Canada. This invoice holds all relevant information required by
Canada Border Services Agency.  It is not the document that must be used, but does provide a
good guide for information that is required if you are to use your own commercial invoice.

Certificate of Origin - A Certificate of Origin Form A may be required for goods under entry
claiming preferential duty or exemption under the various agreements, General Preferential
Tariff (GPT). It should be produced at the time of entry and must be in the possession of the
importer at the time of entry. Origin of the goods must be detailed on the commercial invoice.

NAFTA (North-American Free Trade Agreement) Certificate of Origin - It must be

provided for qualifying goods from the U.S. or Mexico on a high value shipment entry. For
commercial shipments under a low value shipment entry, the invoice must include a statement
certifying that the goods qualify as originating. Even if the certificate is not required to be
presented, it should be in the possession of the importer at the time of entry and available should
Customs request it.

CIFTA (Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement) Certificate of Origin - It must be provided

for qualifying goods from Israel under a high value shipment entry. For commercial shipments
under a low value shipment entry, the invoice must include a statement certifying that the goods
qualify as originating. Even if the certificate is not required to be presented, it should be in the
possession of the importer at the time of entry and available should Customs request it.

CCFTA (Canada-Chili Free Trade Agreement) Certificate of Origin - It must be provided

for qualifying goods from Chile under a high value shipment entry. For commercial shipments
under a low value shipment entry, the invoice must include a statement certifying that the goods
qualify as originating. Even if the certificate is not required to be presented, it should be in the
possession of the importer at the time of entry and available should Customs request it.

Blanket Certificates of Origin (NAFTA/CIFTA/CCFTA) - Blanket certificates are issued to

verify origin for multiple imports of the same commodity over a specific period of time that does
not exceed 12 months.

Artwork Statement - The artwork statement is required for duty-free entry of original works of
art such as sculptures, etchings, engravings, and lithographs.

Certification of Visual and Auditory Materials of an Educational, Scientific, and Cultural

Character - A Certificate issued by Heritage Canada is required to qualify for the use of the
following H.S. classification numbers 3705.90.10, 4905.99.10, 4911.99.10, 8524.51.20,
8524.52.20, 8524.53.20, and 8524.99.90. These H.S. classification numbers cover certain audio-
visual goods that must be used for instructional or informational purposes by an approved
educational, scientific, or cultural institution or society.

Declaration of Antiquity - A declaration of antiquity (over 100 years old) must be shown on the
invoice to claim duty-free entry of goods over 100 years old. The statement must include the
words circa date followed by the year of manufacture whether known or estimated.

SPECIAL IMPORT PROVISIONS:

gifts.

Warranty Replacement Goods/Substitute Goods

Warranty replacement goods can be imported exempt from Goods and Service Tax (GST) or

CUSTOMS AND ETIQUETTE IN CANADA
» Meeting and Greeting
The most common greeting is the handshake.
It should be firm and accompanied by direct eye contact and a sincere smile.
Wait until invited before using someone's first name although Canadians tend to move to a first-
name basis rapidly.
French Canadian friends may greet each other by lightly kissing on the cheeks (once on the left
cheek and once on the right).
» Gift Giving
In general, Canadians give gifts for birthdays and Christmas.
If invited to someone's home for dinner, take a box of good chocolates, flowers or a bottle of
wine.
In Quebec, sending flowers in advance of the dinner party is proper protocol.
In Quebec, if you give wine, make sure it is of the highest quality you can afford.
Do not give white lilies as they are used at funerals.
Do not give cash or money as a present.
Gifts are usually opened when received.
» Dining Etiquette
Table manners are relatively relaxed and informal in Canada.
Quebec does see a little more formality.
Table manners are generally Continental, i.e. the fork is held in the left hand and the knife in the
right while eating.
Wait to be shown to your seat.
Do not begin eating until the hostess starts.
Do not rest your elbows on the table.
Feel free to refuse individual foods or drink without offering an explanation.
Leaving a small amount at the end of the meal is generally acceptable.
In formal situations, the host gives the first toast. An honoured guest should return the toast later
in the meal. Women may give toasts.
Business Etiquette and Protocol
» Meeting and Greeting
Canadian business people often begin relationships in a reserved manner; once people get to
know one another is becomes friendly and informal.
Canadians appreciate politeness and expect others to adhere to the proper protocol for any given
situation.
Shake hands with everyone at the meeting upon arrival and departure.
Maintain eye contact while shaking hands.
Men may offer their hand to a woman without waiting for her to extend hers first.
Honorific titles and surnames are usually not used.
However, academic titles are important in Quebec and are used with the honorific Monsieur or
Madame.
Business cards are exchanged after the initial introduction.
In Quebec, have one side of your business card translated into French. Hand the card so the
French side faces the recipient.
Examine any card you receive before putting it in your card case.
» Canadian Communication Styles
It is difficult to specify any national trait in terms of communication in Canada due to its
regionalism and cultural diversity. However, there are some basic communication styles that are
fairly standard across the country. For example, businesspeople are generally polite, easy-going
and somewhat informal.
Canadians communicate more by the spoken word rather than non-verbal expressions. Non-
verbal expressions are only really used to add emphasis to a message or are part of an
individual’s personal communication style.
Canadians like their space and prefer to be at an arm’s length when speaking to someone.
Canadians are reticent to discuss their personal lives with business associates. They expect
people to speak in a straightforward manner and to be able to back up their claims with
examples. They do not make exaggerated claims and are suspicious of something that sounds too
good to be true.
» Business Meetings
Canadians begin meetings with a minimal amount of small talk although one should expect to
spend a few minutes exchanging pleasantries and the like. In Quebec there may be more time
spent on relationship-building.
Meetings are generally well-organized and adhere to time schedules. They tend to be informal
and relaxed in manner even if the subjects being discussed are serious. When meeting with
Anglophones, meetings may seem more democratic as all participants will engage and
contribute.
Meetings in Canadian companies are used to review proposals, make plans, brain-storm and
communicate decisions. Attendees will generally represent a variety of levels and experiences;
all are expected to express opinions.
When presenting information, it is important to have facts and figures to substantiate claims and
promises. Canadians are essentially rational and logical and thus they will not be convinced by
emotions, passion or feelings
