International Trade Certificates

An International Trade Certificate is an official document which speaks to the regulatory and marketing status of a natural health product in Canada. Although the Natural Health Products Regulations only apply to the sale of natural health products in Canada, given the significant number of natural health products exported abroad, the International Trade Certificate was developed specifically to help facilitate access of Canadian-made natural health products to foreign markets. There are three types of certificates that a Canadian exporter may obtain:

  • International Trade Certificate for Natural Health Products
  • International Trade Certificate for Natural Health Products for Export Only
  • Certificate of GMP Compliance

The guidance document provides further details on these certificates as well as instructions on how to obtain them.
