The problem

Most first-time importers lose money the same way:

Ordering a product that isn’t legal to sell here
Trusting a supplier on photos alone
Pricing from the factory quote instead of true landed cost
Hitting CARM and customs unprepared

These mistakes are expensive — and almost always avoidable.

The promise

The First Import walks you from zero to a clean first commercial order. You research a product, check if it’s legal, vet a supplier, calculate real landed cost, set up the business side, ship with eyes open, and sell.

Every practical lesson ends inside one of our free tools so the learning stays real.

Frequently asked questions

Is this formal customs or tax advice?

No. It’s practical education for beginners. For classification, clearance, or tax filing, use a licensed customs broker and an accountant who understands import GST/HST.

Do I need a customs broker?

For a first commercial shipment we strongly recommend one. The course shows you how to work with a broker and what you’re still responsible for as importer of record.

Is this only for products from India?

The examples lean on India because it’s a practical starting point for many Canadians. The process (legal check, sample, landed cost, CARM, selling) applies to most consumer goods from other countries too.

How long does the course take?

There’s no deadline. Most people move through it in a few focused sessions. Your progress is saved.

What if I’ve never run a business?

That’s exactly who this is written for. Every term is explained in plain English the first time it appears.

Can I do this with a small budget?

Yes. The course is built around realistic first-order ranges and teaches you to calculate true cost before you commit. Never use money you can’t have tied up for a few months.

Do the free tools stay available?

Yes. The Scorecard, Import Checker, Supplier Quote Checker, Landed Cost Calculator, CBM Calculator, Shipment Planner and CARM guide remain free on the site.

What happens after I buy?

You get instant access to the interactive course. Progress and notes save automatically. The Resource Vault templates are available to download inside the course.

Is there a refund window?

Yes — 7 days from purchase if the course has not been substantially completed. Email us and we’ll handle it.
