Import Analyst

About Us

Almost every single thing that you eat, wear, or use (yes, even that Pikachu-shaped baseball cap you secretly love to wear) is imported. But before it makes it past the border, there’s a final, looming hurdle: customs. A complex maze of regulations, enough documentation to bankrupt Dunder Mifflin, harmonized codes, and debates about Santa suit classifications stand between businesses and their products hitting the shelves.

Clearit Canada makes customs brokerage seamless for importers in the US and Canada with a modern, digital, frictionless platform. And we’re not alone; Clearit is a proud part of the Freightos Group, a logistics technology company that aims to make global trade frictionless. We work with some of the largest companies in the world, are regularly featured in top-tier publications, make our families proud and are traded on the Nasdaq (CRGO).
