Import Anything — Personally or for Resale
You don’t need to be a corporation to import globally. SimpleImports helps individuals source products from anywhere in the world — with the same expertise large companies rely on.
What Can You Import as an Individual?
Almost anything — with the right guidance on regulations and duties. Common individual imports include:
- Personal use goods — Electronics, clothing, collectibles, sporting goods, furniture
- Side business inventory — Products to resell on Amazon, Etsy, eBay, or local markets
- Custom/niche products — Items you can’t easily find in Canada
- Art, antiques & collectibles — With proper valuation and certification
- Vehicles & parts — Subject to Transport Canada compliance
- Food & supplements — With CFIA and Health Canada compliance
We’ll tell you upfront what’s importable, what duties apply, and what the true landed cost will be.

CUSMA Benefits for Individual Importers
If you’re buying from the US or Mexico, CUSMA (formerly NAFTA) can dramatically reduce or eliminate your import duties. Many personal goods and resale products qualify for duty-free entry — but only if the paperwork is done correctly. Our team ensures you claim every eligible exemption.
