Freight Forwarder · Trade Compliance Partner · Our Story

We’re Not a Big Forwarder
with a Call Centre
Somewhere Else.

We’re Vietnamese professionals in Toronto — who ship your goods and make sure you never overpay on import taxes. Two roles. One team. One lane.

Freight forwarding · CPTPP compliance · Canada–Vietnam trade specialist

I Watched a $36,000 Mistake Happen. Every Year. For Three Years.

A few years ago, I was helping a family friend who ran a small Vietnamese restaurant supply business in Scarborough. They imported lacquerware, bamboo products, and decorative goods from a supplier in Bình Dương. Nice products, reliable supplier, steady business.

What wasn’t steady was their cash flow. On every container, they were paying $8,000–$12,000 in import duties. When I looked at their paperwork, the answer was obvious: their goods qualified for 0% tariff under CPTPP. They had been importing since 2019 — the year CPTPP came into force — and nobody had ever told them. Three years. Roughly $30,000 in unnecessary tariffs.

“We are not a company trying to be everything to everyone. We are the specialist for one trade lane — Canada and Vietnam. And on this lane, we know every detail that matters.”

— [Tên của bạn], Founder

That’s when I decided to build something different. NovaLynk is built on a simple premise: freight forwarding and trade compliance are inseparable. Moving your goods matters. But making sure you’re not overpaying to move them matters just as much.

I grew up in Vietnam and built my career in Canada. I understand the supplier relationships, the cultural context, the business practices on both sides.

Freight Forwarder + Trade Compliance Partner — Không Phải Sự Lựa Chọn. Là Bắt Buộc.

Khi tôi nhìn lại câu chuyện người bạn trả $36,000 thuế thừa mỗi năm, tôi nhận ra vấn đề không phải là họ thiếu một freight forwarder tốt — họ có. Vấn đề là freight forwarder đó không bao giờ hỏi: “Hàng của bạn có đủ điều kiện CPTPP không?”

Đó là lý do NovaLynk được xây dựng với hai vai trò không thể tách rời. Vận chuyển hàng hóa là công việc chúng tôi làm. Đảm bảo bạn không trả thừa thuế là trách nhiệm chúng tôi nhận. Hai thứ đó cần đi cùng nhau — và thị trường Canada–Vietnam chưa có ai làm được cả hai cho SME.

Một lời nhắn — A Note in Vietnamese

Chúng tôi không phải công ty lớn với call center ở nước khác. Chúng tôi là người Việt tại Toronto, hiểu cả hai phía của tuyến đường này — và đó là lý do chúng tôi làm tốt hơn những ai không có lợi thế đó.

Khi bạn làm việc với NovaLynk, bạn không chỉ thuê một freight forwarder. Bạn có một Trade Compliance Partner — người sẽ nói thẳng khi hàng có vấn đề, giải thích rõ khi có rủi ro thuế quan, kiểm tra CPTPP cho bạn mỗi lô hàng, và không bao giờ để bạn phải tự tìm hiểu một mình.

Hai vai trò. Một cam kết. Đó là lý do chúng tôi tồn tại.
