Cosmetics import consulting for Canada: ingredients, labels, notifications and barcodes.

Bring your cosmetic range to the Canadian market with coordinated regulatory and product setup support. We review the formulation and claims, work through Canadian label requirements and help prepare the information for cosmetic notification and retail setup.

Your formulation, claims, labels and notifications need to tell the same story. We look at the whole picture, make the requirements easier to navigate and identify issues before they become launch-day surprises. You get clear next steps and support that fits your range, leaving more time to build the brand.

From a single product to a multi-SKU range, the work is scoped to your products and suppliers.

Start with a free initial consultation. No commitment required.

  • Ingredient and product assessment
    Review of ingredient information, intended use and claims to identify Canadian cosmetic requirements, restricted-ingredient concerns and product-classification questions.

    Canadian label review
    Review of ingredient naming, required label information, warnings and claims, including applicable bilingual labelling requirements.

    Cosmetic notification support
    Preparation and submission support for the Cosmetic Notification Form (CNF), using the product, formulation and manufacturer or importer information provided.

    Barcodes and product data
    GS1 barcode and product data support for your products, variants and pack formats, scoped to your retail plans.

    Import setup and broker coordination
    Support with Harmonized System (HS) code determination, CBSA Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) setup and customs broker coordination and integration for your Canadian imports.

  • Share your ingredient lists, formulation information, current labels, proposed claims and supplier details. We assess the work involved and agree the scope for your range.

    Health Canada's cosmetic notification process does not constitute product approval. Ingredient, classification and labelling requirements remain part of the assessment.

  • Your cosmetic project is assessed for the market you intend to enter. US cosmetic projects are scoped separately against the requirements relevant to that market.

    Tell us where you plan to sell and which products are ready for review. We confirm the next steps for your cosmetic range.
