# Canada (CA) **Capital:** Ottawa **Currency:** Dollaro canadese (CAD) (CAD) **Population:** 41'500'000 **Area:** 9'984'670 km² > Il Canada è una nazione commerciale ricca di risorse, con porte verso il Pacifico (Vancouver, Prince Rupert), l'Atlantico (Halifax) e tramite il fiume San Lorenzo (Montreal). Vancouver è il porto più grande (circa 3,5 milioni di TEU). Lo sdoganamento avviene elettronicamente tramite il sistema CARM della CBSA, obbligatorio da ottobre 2024. L'IVA all'importazione (GST) è del 5 per cento. Il Canada è integrato tramite CUSMA, CETA e CPTPP; per la Svizzera è rilevante l'accordo Canada-AELS (dal 2009). Il Canada (Codice ISO: CA) si trova in Nord America e si estende dalla costa Atlantica a quella Pacifica, con un confine con gli Stati Uniti a sud e l'Alaska a nord-ovest. Politicamente, il Canada è una monarchia parlamentare federale e membro del Commonwealth con istituzioni democratiche stabili. Il clima è vario, che va dall'artico a nord al continentale nel centro e nell'ovest del Canada, fino al temperato-marittimo lungo le coste. Economicamente, il Canada è fortemente diversificato, con focalizzazioni nell'estrazione di risorse, energia, industria, servizi e tecnologia. Il commercio estero è centrale, con esportazioni principalmente costituite da petrolio, legname, metalli, macchinari e prodotti agricoli, mentre il paese è parzialmente dipendente dalle importazioni di beni di consumo, energia e tecnologia. Porti strategicamente importanti come Vancouver, Montreal e Halifax, insieme a una fitta rete stradale e ferroviaria, garantiscono le funzioni di transito e logistica per il Nord America e le catene di approvvigionamento internazionali. La valuta nazionale è il Dollaro canadese (CAD), che consente transazioni economiche stabili. La posizione geografica del Canada facilita il commercio con il Nord America, l'Asia e l'Europa, aumentando il significato logistico del paese. L'infrastruttura, la diversificazione economica e la stabilità politica contribuiscono alla competitività globale e regionale. **Top Import Partners:** US, CN, MX, DE, JP **Top Export Partners:** US, CN, JP, MX, GB **Top Import Goods:** Fahrzeuge, Maschinen, Elektronik, Mieralöle, Pharma **Top Export Goods:** Mineralöle, Fahrzeuge, Holzprodukte, Getreide, Metalle **Key Airports:** - [Calgary International Airport (YYC)](https://www.freight-academy.com/it/information/airports/calgary-international-airport-yyc) - [Edmonton International Airport (YEG)](https://www.freight-academy.com/it/information/airports/edmonton-international-airport-yeg) - [Halifax / Stanfield International Airport (YHZ)](https://www.freight-academy.com/it/information/airports/halifax-stanfield-international-airport-yhz) - [Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL)](https://www.freight-academy.com/it/information/airports/montreal-pierre-elliott-trudeau-international-airport-yul) - [Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (YOW)](https://www.freight-academy.com/it/information/airports/ottawa-macdonald-cartier-international-airport-yow) - [Quebec Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB)](https://www.freight-academy.com/it/information/airports/quebec-jean-lesage-international-airport-yqb) - [St. John's International Airport (YYT)](https://www.freight-academy.com/it/information/airports/st-johns-international-airport-yyt) - [Toronto Lester B.
