About the company 

Company exporting fruit to Costco and Walmart

Opportunities

  • Costco and Walmart are retail giants with a large customer base and an extensive network, allowing them to reach a vast number of shoppers.

Pain point

  • Although a distribution channel was identified and a successful meeting held, the distribution contract for the fruit could not be finalized. This was due to the lack of a Canadian legal entity required to handle legal matters, product returns, and payment processing in Canada.
  • High ‘hidden’ costs: Without a Canadian legal entity to support operations, significant expenses are incurred by having to engage third parties for tasks such as customs clearance, documentation processing, temporary warehousing, and product inspections.

Goals

  • Expand exports to North America.

Solutions

  • The Trade Representative package provides representation for signing distribution agreements, receiving payments, handling customs clearance, and managing operations in Canada.
