Intl. Product Procurement

The challenge

Import feasibility depends on several factors working together. The Canadian importer must hold an appropriate licence. The foreign supplier must be authorized to export cannabis under their own jurisdiction's rules. The product must qualify for the intended use under Canadian regulations. And the per-shipment permit process adds administrative time that commercial planning needs to accommodate.

Many procurement proposals stall or fail because the regulatory requirements on one or both sides were not assessed early enough. The right questions — about the supplier's authorization, the product specifications, and the Canadian import pathway — need to be asked before commercial terms are negotiated.
