Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Free Sale Certificate and do I need one?

A Free Sale Certificate (FSC) confirms that a product is legally sold in its country of origin. Many countries require an FSC for supplement import registration. We issue FSCs for all products manufactured at our Canadian facilities.

How do you determine HS codes for supplements?

Our trade compliance team classifies products using the Harmonized System based on product composition, dosage form, and intended use. Accurate classification is critical for correct duty rates and import compliance.

Can you help with import registration in new markets?

Yes. We provide guidance and documentation support for import registration in new markets. Requirements vary significantly by country — our team navigates these requirements for you.

What is DDP shipping and should I use it?

DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) means we handle all import duties, taxes, and customs clearance. It simplifies the import process for you but is typically more expensive than FOB or CIF. We recommend DDP for new market entry.
