NRI Registration Information - First Choice Shipping

NRI Registration Information

Frisbi makes delivering to your Canadian customers a seamless and efficient process. We tailor your supply chain around your U.S. production facilities and your customers or Amazon FBA in Canada.

In order to ship with UPS to Canada, we need to have a UPS customs brokerage account and NRI Number setup for you.

The Non-Resident Importer (NRI) program is designed to benefit U.S. companies by allowing them to sell to their Canadian clients on a landed cost basis, streamline the customs clearance process, and reduce paperwork.

NRI Responsibilities: 

  • Responsible for the complete declaration of all shipments made in their name
  • Pay for any applicable duties, taxes and brokerage fees
  • Responsible for GST Registration and quarterly filing
  • Maintain importing records for a period of six years plus the current year

Frisbi will make the process very simple and will walk you through the entire process.

Steps to Get Setup:

  • Request Frisbi to file an application for you
  • Sign a General Agency Agreement to allow UPS to act on your behalf at the Canadian Border
  • Frisbi will let you know when your account is fully setup so you can get started with shipping to CA (Usually takes up to 10 Business days for implementation)
