International Trade Certificates FAQ
An international trade certificate (ITC) is a notarized document that provides information to foreign countries about the regulatory status of your natural health product and the regulatory status of the Canadian manufacturing, packaging, and/or labeling sites associated with it.
You are not required by the NHPR to have an ITC, but it helps speed up the process of bringing your product to a foreign market. Examples of foreign markets include Lebanon, Honduras, Iran, Indonesia, El Salvador.
There are 3 types of ITCs, the one you need depends on the product type:
- NHP site license only
- NHP with product license (NPN) and site license
- NHP with product license (DIN-HM) and site license (for homeopathic medicines)
ITCs are only provided through independent third parties. Health Canada does not provide ITCs. Companies/organizations who are “third-party issuance authorized” means they have met a list of criteria set out by Health Canada allowing them to issue ITCs.
