Import & Export Services

End-to-End Trade, Handled with Precision

From sourcing and quality inspection to customs clearance and last-mile delivery — we manage the full trade cycle so our partners can focus on their business.

What We Do

A Full-Service Trade Partner

Heritage North Impex is more than a commodity supplier. We operate as a complete import and export services partner — handling procurement, documentation, logistics coordination, regulatory compliance, and delivery for wholesale buyers across Canada and international markets. Whether you need a single container or a multi-year supply agreement, we bring the same rigour to every engagement.

Our Services

Everything Your Supply Chain Needs

01

Product Sourcing & Procurement

We source directly from vetted producers in India, Thailand, and Vietnam. Our team evaluates crop quality, grading standards, and production capacity before committing to any supply agreement. We don't broker — we buy and take ownership of the goods we supply.

02

Quality Inspection & Grading

Every shipment is inspected against agreed specifications before it leaves the origin country. We work with accredited third-party inspection agencies and maintain detailed quality records for every lot — available to our customers on request.

03

Export Documentation

We prepare and manage all export documentation: commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, phytosanitary certificates, fumigation certificates, and any product-specific certifications required by the importing country.

04

Freight & Logistics Coordination

We coordinate ocean freight, container booking, and inland transport at origin. We work with established freight forwarders and shipping lines to ensure competitive rates and reliable transit times to Canadian ports and beyond.

05

Canadian Customs Clearance

We manage Canadian import compliance end-to-end — CFIA requirements, CBSA documentation, tariff classification, and duty management. Our team stays current with Canadian food import regulations so our customers don't have to.

06

Warehousing & Distribution

We offer warehousing and distribution services for customers who require flexible delivery schedules or smaller lot releases from a larger import. We can arrange delivery to distribution centres, retail warehouses, or direct to food manufacturing facilities.

07

Custom Packaging & Labelling

We can arrange custom packaging and private-label solutions for retail customers — including bag sizes, label design coordination, and bilingual (English/French) packaging to meet Canadian retail requirements.

08

Export Services

In addition to importing into Canada, we export Canadian agricultural products and processed foods to international buyers. We handle all export documentation, phytosanitary requirements, and logistics for outbound shipments.

Regulatory Compliance

We Know the Rules

Food import compliance in Canada is complex and constantly evolving. We stay ahead of the requirements so our customers receive compliant, cleared goods without delays.

CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency)

All food imports meet CFIA requirements including Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR) and applicable commodity-specific standards.

CBSA Documentation

Accurate tariff classification, valuation, and customs declarations for every shipment. We maintain clean import records with no compliance flags.

Phytosanitary Certification

All plant-based products are accompanied by valid phytosanitary certificates issued by the exporting country's national plant protection authority.

GI & Certification Compliance

For GI-tagged products, we maintain full chain-of-custody documentation and authorised supply agreements to ensure authenticity and legal compliance.

Halal & Organic Certification

We can source and supply Halal-certified and organic-certified products where required, with full supporting documentation.

B2B Partnerships

Built for Long-Term Business

We work best with buyers who value consistency over spot-market pricing. Our ideal partners are grocery retailers, food manufacturers, distributors, and restaurant groups who need a reliable, accountable supply partner — not just a one-time transaction.

Annual Supply Agreements

Lock in pricing and volume commitments for the year — protecting your margins and our production planning.

Flexible Order Sizes

From a single 20-foot container to multi-container monthly programs — we scale to your volume.

Dedicated Account Management

Every partner has a named contact who knows your account, your specs, and your delivery requirements.

Transparent Pricing

No hidden fees. Our quotes include product cost, freight, insurance, and landed duty-paid pricing on request.
