( 1 ) Sending a parcel to Canada has become easier since August 1, 2017, because the Agreement on Free Trade Zone between Canada and Ukraine came into force. The country with a huge Ukrainian diaspora opened 98% of its market to domestic exporters. In return, Kyiv significantly reduced tariffs on imports of Canadian goods. Such agreements give businesses wide opportunities in the sphere of foreign economic activity and lead to significant growth in demand for cargo transportation services in both directions. They also allow you to send parcels or freight from Ukraine to Canada without additional complications.
