How to source from Canada
- 01
Write a one-page brief
Spec, MOQ, target landed cost, certifications, and timeline. Suppliers in Canada respond fastest when the brief is specific and the volume is realistic.
- 02
Shortlist 3 to 5 suppliers
Use the directory above. Filter by category, then by whether their MOQs and product types match yours. Don't shortlist more than five for the first round, you won't have time to evaluate them properly.
- 03
Request samples and a compliance pack
Ask for production samples (not prototypes), recent test reports, and any category-specific certifications. For food, supplements, and cosmetics this is non-negotiable before a PO.
- 04
Confirm logistics and Incoterms
From Canada, FCA or EXW with a freight forwarder you control usually beats DAP. Confirm packaging, palletization, and labeling requirements before the first run.
Frequently asked
What is the typical MOQ for private label skincare in Canada?
Small labs offer stock private label formulas from a few dozen to a few hundred units per SKU. Private label with formula changes often starts at about 500 units, custom formulation at about 1,000 to 1,500 units, and large contract manufacturers for mass retail around 5,000 to 10,000 units per SKU.
Do cosmetics need to be registered in Canada?
Manufacturers and importers must submit a Cosmetic Notification Form (CNF) to Health Canada within 10 days after the first sale in Canada. A CNF is a notification, not an approval for sale. Labels must be in English and French.
What changes with fragrance allergen labeling in Canada in 2026?
From April 12, 2026, cosmetics must disclose 24 fragrance allergens on the label above 0.001% in leave-on and 0.01% in rinse-off products. Newly introduced cosmetics must disclose the full list of 81 allergens from August 1, 2026, and all cosmetics on the market by August 1, 2028.
Can Canadian manufacturers supply US brands?
Yes. Facilities that make cosmetics for the US must be registered with the FDA under MoCRA. Check tariffs before you budget: since August 22, 2026 the US applies an additional 50% tariff on a list of Canadian goods, and personal care products were added on October 30, 2026. Treatment depends on the HS code.
What is the difference between cosmetics and natural health products in Canada?
Cosmetics are regulated under the Cosmetic Regulations and need a CNF. Products with drug or natural health product claims, such as sunscreens or anti-acne treatments, are regulated as drugs or NHPs and need Health Canada licences before production and sale.
Which certifications should I ask a Canadian skincare manufacturer for?
Ask for cosmetics GMP (ISO 22716), FDA facility registration under MoCRA if you sell in the US, organic certificates such as COSMOS or USDA Organic for organic claims, and a Health Canada site licence if the product makes NHP or drug claims.
