What is local to Vancouver
The port authority says container imports through Vancouver include consumer goods and manufacturing parts, and its Annacis Auto Terminal handles most Asian-manufactured vehicles entering Canada, a record 264,000 in the first half of 2026. Importers and dealers pay for stock well before they sell it. Inventory financing advances against goods in transit or in the warehouse so the next order can be placed on time.
The Port of Vancouver, Canada's largest port, handles about $365 billion of trade a year with 170 countries and about half of Canada's two-way container trade, according to the port authority. Invest Vancouver, Metro Vancouver's economic development service, calls the region North America's third-largest film and TV production centre, with 1,000+ digital media and entertainment businesses and 40,000+ workers.
