ARGO Montreal Customs Brokers:The following products are exempt from all requirements of the CPLA:
- Prepackaged products that are produced or manufactured for commercial or industrial enterprises or institutions for use by such enterprises or institutions without being sold by them as prepackaged products to other consumers.
- Prepackaged products that are produced or manufactured only for export or for sale to a duty-free store.
This means that these foods are exempt from all requirements in the CPLA, such as container sizes and claims, as well as the labelling requirements.
Only foods that are manufactured for export are also exempt from the labelling requirements of the FDA. Foods for commercial or industrial enterprises and foods for sale to a duty-free store are subject to the labelling requirements of the FDR.
