Canada represents the state's leading trading partner. With their geographic proximity, open market economy, stable business climate, and familiar business practices, Canada plays a crucial role in Maine's trade development.

Since 1999, MITC has offered specialized Canadian trade assistance, providing information on:

• Canadian taxation
• Business immigration
• Document preparation
• Shipping and logistics
• Political and linguistic issues
• Market and trade data
  
  

MITC leads trade missions to Canada, conducts education workshops and seminars specific to the country, and has provided hundreds of technical assistance questions and trade counseling to Maine companies.

We also maintain relationships with public and private sector entities in Canada to ease companies' entry into the Canadian market.

If you are ready to start exporting, or simply want to grow your export sales in Canada, let MITC put their years of experience to work for you.
