Challenge: Exporting Food Is More Than Shipping Product

Exporting food products from Canada introduces additional regulatory expectations beyond domestic compliance. Exporters must meet Canadian requirements while also satisfying import-country regulations, customer requirements, and third-party certification requirements.

Common challenges exporters face include:

  • Unclear export documentation requirements
  • HACCP or PCP programs not aligned with export markets
  • Customer or retailer audit requirements (Costco, large distributors, etc.)
  • Traceability expectations across international supply chains
  • Differences between CFIA requirements and foreign regulations
  • Preparing for customer or certification audits

Many exporters discover compliance gaps only after a shipment delay, customer request, or audit finding — when changes become more costly and disruptive.
