It is amazing that most importers don’t share the basic secret of their businesses with even their best friends ! If they did, then most people would have found out that buying and shipping from Montreal, Canada to African cities like Lagos Nigeria , Kigali Rwanda , Accra Ghana , Addis Ababa Ethiopia , Douala Cameroon , Nairobi Kenya , Monrovia Liberia , Freetown Sierra Leone , Luanda Angola , Kampala Uganda , Khartoum Sudan , Durban South Africa , Mogadishu Somalia , Asmara Eritrea , Dar es Salaam Tanzania , Maputo Mozambique , Lusaka Zambia , Harare Zimbabwe , Gaborone Botswana , Windhoek Namibia , Banjul Gambia is the bedrock of most North American based import / export businesses.

The reasons are simple : you find goods of excellent quality in Montreal, Canada comparable to, or even better than, what you find in the US; and also, the exchange rate of the Canadian dollar is way, way lower than the USD, EURO, POUND STERLING, etc leaving a lot more change in your pocket for other stuff than any other western currency would.

So, to make things easy for your import / export business, if you presently reside in Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, Rwanda, Kenya, etc and find products, cars, etc that suit you anywhere in Canada or even on websites like Kijiji.com, Craigslist Montreal, Google Marketplace, Amazon etc, all you need to do is to contact a freight forwarder who will help you inspect and ship down your products or cars. Canada has 2 major shipping hubs – Montreal and Vancouver. The Montreal sea port and airport are situated in the heart of Montreal and can be easily accessed by train and by car. So if anyone tells you to buy and ship from Canada and is not physically present in any of these 2 cities, then know you are certainly paying more than you should.

Many people I know who used to import from the US, now import straight from montreal.

Yes they certainly can. Reach out to them with the details on their website.
