International Trade Certificate: Export Only (ITC-EXPORT) for Natural Health Products

An International Trade Certificate for Export Only (ITC-EXPORT) is a document that verifies the regulatory status of a Canadian manufacturing, packaging, or labelling site for natural health products (NHPs) that are not sold in Canada and are intended exclusively for export.

What Is an ITC-EXPORT?
This type of certificate is designed specifically for products manufactured in Canada for international markets, where the product is not available for sale domestically. It confirms that the production site complies with Canadian standards and operates under an approved site license.

ITC-EXPORT certificates are often required by foreign regulatory authorities to support the import and approval of natural health products that are made in Canada but intended only for global distribution.

Who Issues ITC-EXPORT Certificates?
Food, Health & Consumer Products of Canada (FHCP) is the authorized third-party issuer of ITC-EXPORT certificates for natural health products within the food manufacturing sector.

Please note: FHCP only issues ITC-EXPORTs for natural health products. Certificates are not issued for other types of products.
