Doing a steel project in Canada

Canada is in North America. The capital is Ottawa. Local currency: Canadian dollar (CAD).

Vietnam and Canada are both parties to CPTPP, so steel structures made in Vietnam can qualify for preferential tariffs under the rules of origin.

Victor Dang, Global Sales Director of World Steel Group, is the direct contact for projects in Canada, from first drawings to fabrication, packing, shipping and documents.
