An International Trade Certificate (ITC) is an official document that confirms the regulatory status of a natural health product (NHP) in Canada. It may also verify compliance at the Canadian manufacturing, packaging, or labelling site associated with the product.
What Is an International Trade Certificate?
An ITC is commonly required by international regulatory authorities when importing Canadian-made natural health products. It provides proof that the product or production site meets Canadian standards and is legally distributed in Canada.
Who Can Issue ITCs?
Food, Health & Consumer Products of Canada (FHCP) is an authorized issuer of International Trade Certificates for natural health products specifically within the food manufacturing industry.
Important: FHCP only issues ITCs for natural health products related to the food manufacturing sector. ITCs are not available for any other product categories.
