Import process
Importer registration: Importers must register with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and obtain an importer number.
Submit import documents: Before the goods arrive in Canada, the importer must prepare documents such as commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading or airway bills, certificates of origin (if necessary), product registration certificates, and submit import declarations to CBSA through the electronic port system.
Customs inspection: CBSA may inspect the goods to check whether the goods are consistent with the declared information and whether the products comply with Canadian regulations and standards.
Pay taxes and fees: Pay taxes and fees such as customs duties, goods and services tax (GST) or harmonized sales tax (HST) according to the value and category of the goods.
Release and pick up: After the inspection and tax payment, the goods can be released, and the importer arranges to pick up the goods and transport them to the destination.
Notes
Pay attention to regulatory updates: Canadian health product regulations may be updated from time to time. Importers need to pay close attention to regulatory changes to ensure that imported products always meet the latest requirements.
Control the import quantity: Avoid importing too much goods at one time to prevent inventory backlogs caused by changes in market demand, and also reduce the risks caused by regulatory changes or product quality problems.
Ensure the accuracy and completeness of documents: Import declaration documents must be accurate. Any errors or omissions may result in customs clearance delays or rejection of goods. It is recommended to review the documents carefully before submitting them.
