About Canada
Geographic
proximity, cultural and historical ties and strong awareness of
business and other developments in the United States are key factors
in the accelerated sale of U.S. goods and services in the Canadian
market. NAFTA tariff benefits also help U.S. exporters in the
Canadian market relative to their competitors from Europe, Asia and
elsewhere. Since January 1, 1998, there has been virtual duty-free
trade between the United States and Canada for NAFTA-originating
products.
With a
population of about 1/10th that of the United States, the Canadian
economy mirrors the U.S. economy in approximately the same ratio and
has developed in many ways along similar lines. This has made Canada
an ideal export and investment destination for many U.S. companies,
which have found an environment and marketplace very similar to that
of the domestic United States. The trading relationship between the
United States and Canada is by far the largest in the world.
Two-way trade in
goods and services accounts for approximately US $1 billion per day,
every day of the year. The U.S. share of total Canadian imports is
about 74 percent and the United States remains Canada's largest
export market, taking about 80 percent of total Canadian exports.
Business
opportunities in Canada fall within virtually the full spectrum of
industry and agricultural sectors, and in almost every business
activity. The five best prospect sectors for U.S. products over the
next 12 months include: computers and peripherals; computer
software, telecommunications equipment, automotive parts and service
equipment, and building products. There will also be strong demand
for value-added food products from the United States.
