Import-readiness and trade-compliance support for growing businesses.

What I do
Practical guidance before goods move
Customs complexity should not be the reason a small business stops growing.
I work with business owners who import into Canada, the United States, or both. Together, we find the missing information and weak points that can create broker questions, delays, unexpected costs, or compliance risk.
The goal is not to overwhelm you with regulations. It is to give you an organized, realistic path forward—suited to the size of your business and the way you actually operate.
How I help

Move with confidence.

About Virginia
Experience matters most when it makes the next decision clearer.
I am Virginia Petrenciu, founder of IMEX EUCA. For 25 years, my work has been shaped by trade and customs compliance, regulatory reasoning, product information, documentation, and the real-life gaps that make cross-border business harder than it needs to be.
Today, I am building a focused advisory practice for small businesses. I bring experience to the table, then explain the work in plain language—so business owners can make informed decisions and work more effectively with their licensed brokers.
“My purpose is to make trade compliance understandable, organized, and useful for the people running the business.”
