Is there an alternative to importing as a Non-Resident Importer (NRI)?
Yes. If you want to pay duties and taxes on behalf of your customers, but would rather not operate as a Non-Resident Importer (NRI), the FedEx E-commerce Casual Program may be an alternative worth considering.
Under this program, eligible orders can clear as casual imports, helping simplify the import process while maintaining a positive delivery experience for your customers.

Benefits include:
- Designed for businesses shipping directly to Canadian consumers
- Duties and taxes can be paid on behalf of the recipient
- Not subject to CARM requirements or additional NRI obligations outlined in Customs Notice 25-01
