The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) issues an official document called the CFIA import permit, which authorizes the importation of specific goods into Canada.
This permit serves as a guarantee that the imported goods adhere to the health and safety standards established by the CFIA. Acquiring this permit is an essential prerequisite for importing goods into Canada, as it ensures compliance with Canadian regulations.
The CFIA import permit aims to safeguard the well-being of Canadians and preserve the integrity of Canada’s food system. It is imperative to obtain all the requisite permits and documentation to prevent any complications with customs and border control.
