Things to know

- Products sold elsewhere must have some bilingual labelling (e.g., product description and measurement/quantity declarations) – limited exceptions exist.
- Country of origin marking requirements (applicable to some products, including toys and batteries) are set out in the Customs Tariff.
- Examples of other products that are or may be subject to additional labelling requirements include: electronics, radiocommunications devices, articles made of precious metals, textiles and apparel, stuffed articles, food and drugs, natural health products, cosmetics, medical devices, jewellery and candles
Things to do
