Clarus Canadian Springs can help you import our goods

The costs of developing new export markets are high. There are no short cuts to be taken. One of the ways Clarus Canadian is mitigating these costs, however, is by accessing the various federal and provincial export financial assistance programs, like the Program for Export Market Development (PEMD) and the Manitoba Trade Assistance Program (TAP). As well, Clarus Canadian is approaching other small and medium-sized food and beverage companies to explore the interest in developing some joint export marketing efforts. By seeking a cooperative solution among complementary and non-competing product lines, Clarus Canadian can lower participation costs for itself as well as other interested companies at trade shows and other events.

We can assist you with importing and exporting Clarus products by entering into the following programs:

 Program for Export market Development (PEMD) is a program which will help increase export sales of Canadian goods and services by sharing the costs of the activities that companies normally could or would not undertake alone, thereby reducing risks involved entering foreign market. This program will help us and our customers enter the US market.

 Market Development Strategies program (MDS) provides assistance on the basis of a company's target market. MDS gives prior approval for a package of support for visits, trade fairs, and other activities. Eligible activity costs are shared on a 50/50 basis., between the government of Canada and the participating business.

 New-to-Exporting Companies.
