India–Canada Trade

Export from India to Canada

End-to-end export from India to Canada — handling CBSA customs entry, CFIA food and plant requirements, and bilingual labelling so your shipments clear smoothly into the Canadian market.

India–Canada Trade Corridor

A Growing India–Canada Corridor

Canada is a high-value, growing market for Indian exporters across textiles, engineering goods, pharmaceuticals, food products, and gems and jewellery. India and Canada have relaunched negotiations toward a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), with both governments targeting a deal during 2026.

Until a preferential agreement is in force, standard MFN tariffs apply — so accurate classification and compliance drive your landed cost. Shashimanglam Export manages CBSA customs entry, CFIA food and plant requirements, and Canada’s bilingual labelling rules end-to-end.
