Hey guys,
this is from HC:
5.2.2 Canadians importing by means other than on their person (via mail, courier, etc.)
Consumers are encouraged to
buy health products which have received market authorization from Health Canada. Market authorization indicates that a product has been reviewed by Health Canada for safety and efficacy and found to have an acceptable risk/benefit profile for the conditions for which it was approved. Health Canada also conducts post-market activities for these products, including the monitoring of adverse reactions and complaints regarding quality. Consumers are also encouraged to obtain their health products only from reputable or known suppliers/retailers.
A Canadian who chooses to obtain a health product from outside Canada which may or may not have been reviewed and market authorized by Health Canada is allowed to import:
A single course of treatment or a 90-day supply based on the directions for use, whichever is less, of a health product as long as the product does not contain a substance listed in Schedule F of the Food and Drug Regulations.
The health product must be for their own personal use, the use of a person for whom they are responsible or for use on an animal for which they are responsible.
The health products must be in one of the following:
Hospital or pharmacy dispensed packaging;
Original retail packaging; or
have the original label affixed to it which clearly indicates what the health product is and what it contains.
Larger volumes shipments, multiple repeat shipments of the same product within short periods of time (<3 months), shipments accompanied by or associated with materials to be used for advertising or promotion, and/or shipments that indicate a Canadian business is involved in the transaction, will be considered commercial shipments and the relevant requirements will apply (see section 5.1).
