There are great opportunities for the Philippines to export products to Canada. The challenge is to identify if and what the demand is in Canada for a specific product before investing time and funds in travel, business planning, and marketing without knowing the demand and its source.

TechRep, Inc. provides assessments for companies in the Philippines interested in exporting their product(s) to Canada of the current demand in Canada for a product requested including:

• The average annual total value of imports by Canada for the past three years of the generic product(s) of interest with trendline.
• Any major import restrictions set by Canadian import regulations to be taken into account in exporting the product to Canada.
• Profile of the average annual total value of the imported product disaggregated by source country(s).
• Profile of the average annual total value of the imported product disaggregated by recipient Canadian province within Canada.
• Suggested provincial agencies and business associations in those provinces for more information.

TechRep Inc. assesses import demand in Canada for a product based on analysis of statistical data (often difficult and time-consuming to access) from government agencies in Canada and the Philippines as well as UNCTAD and WTO. With an understanding of the technical structure of these statistical data sources, it is possible to assess origin and destination of Canada’s import levels for very specific generic categories of products (for example, disaggregated total coffee imports by: coffee beans vs. ground coffee; decaffeinated coffee vs. non-decaffeinated coffee; and Arabica vs. other types of coffee).

TechRep cross-checks its initial statistical assessments using AI and verifying its conclusions with Canadian federal and provincial trade officials. As annual import levels can be volatile due to factors other than demand, a rolling three-year average updated as soon as data is available is used by TechRep, Inc. in its assessments.

The demand in Canada for imports of generic products already imported from the Philippines is well-known in general terms. TechRep, Inc. can help refine that general knowledge with details about how much and where the demand is in Canada as well as the international competition.
