Supply Chain Peace of Mind: Toronto to Shenzhen
Eliminating the complexity of international trade for Canadian tech leaders.
The Challenge
A Toronto-based consumer electronics firm struggled with unpredictable landed costs. Frequent CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency) delays and unexpected brokerage fees were eating into their margins and disrupting product launches.
The EliteBox Solution
- DDP Model: We switched the client to a full DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) agreement, where EliteBox handles all export/import duties, taxes, and clearing.
- Bulk Storage: Produced 12 months of inventory and staged shipments in our Shenzhen warehouse to maintain a constant supply to Canada.
- Protective Engineering: Designed anti-static (ESD) inserts for their sensitive hardware.
The Impact
The client now has a fixed, predictable cost per unit landed in Toronto. Transit times are stabilized at 28 days via sea freight, with zero paperwork required from the client's side.
