Canada Sourcing
India sourcing support for Canadian buyers
Supplier-search, inspection, merchant export, documentation, packaging review, and shipment handoff support for Canadian importers, retailers, distributors, DTC brands, and procurement teams.
MCR Global helps Canadian buyers prepare sourcing briefs, compare Indian supplier options, coordinate samples, plan quality checks, and organize export documentation or merchant export supply from India.
Canada Import Planning
Plan India sourcing around Canadian import and distribution needs
Canada-bound sourcing should account for product specifications, packaging, documentation, routing, customs inputs, bilingual or retailer labeling where relevant, and final warehouse delivery before supplier comparison begins.
Routing and delivery
Compare direct Canada delivery, US cross-border routing, LCL, FCL, air freight, and inland delivery based on cargo profile and timeline.
Labeling and packaging
Prepare unit packaging, carton marks, SKU labels, bilingual or retailer labeling needs, handling protection, and warehouse receiving rules.
Import documentation
Prepare product descriptions, HS code assumptions, commercial invoice, packing list, origin inputs, labels, and customs broker requirements.
Quality before dispatch
Use approved samples, inspection criteria, packaging checks, carton counts, defect limits, and pre-shipment reporting before goods leave India.
