How do I import Ethiopian green coffee to Canada?

We handle all Ethiopian export documentation — certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate and ICO certificate. Green coffee enters Canada duty-free; you'll need a customs broker to clear the shipment at your port. We guide first-time importers through the process.

What import duty applies to green coffee in Canada?

Green (unroasted) coffee is duty-free in Canada. GST/HST applies on import and is recoverable by registered businesses. We supply the certificate of origin and phytosanitary documents for clearance.

Which Canadian ports do you ship to?

We ship to Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto on CIF terms, or FOB Djibouti if you manage your own freight. Montreal (Atlantic) is typically the faster route; Vancouver serves the west.

Do you ship free samples to Canada?

Yes — free cupping samples couriered to any Canadian address, usually within 8–12 business days. Each includes 250g green coffee per origin, an SCA cupping report and a traceability document.
