Dzijacky Inc. was a successful manufacturer of maple-based products sold in Canada. The owner decided to venture into exporting, as the Canadian market was limited and he had the capacity to produce much more than he could sell in Canada. When he met you at a social event, he shared his plans with you and asked if you could tell him where he might get export assistance. What advice would you offer to Mr. Dzijacky?

Students should be aware of at least two primary federal government departments that offer services to assist companies during business in Canada and abroad. These are the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade and Industry Canada. They offer advice on regulations that apply to various activities in Canada as well as best practices for Canadians doing business abroad. Students should also mention customs brokers and freight forwarders. They might indicate that there is a government website to see treaties to which Canada is a signatory, as some of the treaties apply to trade.
