Discuss selling in Canada

For small businesses

The ingredients, tableware, and kitchen supplies you use in Japan — now in Canada too.

You want to source products from Japan, but your volume alone is too small. You found tableware or kitchen supplies in Japan and want to use them in Canada. We help with requests like these. Umezawa Bussan isn’t only for large corporate deals — for small businesses, we propose an approach that fits the products and terms.

How it works

From Japan to Canada.

Sourcing in Japan

We find the products and manufacturers, then negotiate terms and purchase.

Trade and export

We plan export and shipping, and work out trade terms and how the goods are imported.

Import and distribution in Canada

From import and distribution to delivery to your buyers and growing your business locally, we tailor our support to each project.

Whether your company already imports into Canada or your store or business has no import setup yet, we’ll propose an approach that fits your project.
