Getting it to Canada

Frozen fruit and peanuts ship by sea in containers from Tanger Med or Casablanca. Whether a fresh product can enter Canada depends on that country's plant-health rules for each product, so we check admissibility before quoting fresh.

Transit time (approx.)
About 2–3 weeks by sea in containers to Montreal or Halifax.
Entry and controls
The CFIA controls food imports; the importer needs a Safe Food for Canadians (SFCR) licence, and labels must be bilingual (English and French).

Documents to expect

  • Importer-side food safety obligations (in the US: FDA registration, prior notice and FSVP; in Canada: an SFCR licence)
  • Phytosanitary certificate where required
  • Lab analyses (aflatoxin for peanuts, residues for fruit)
  • Commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading

General guidance only. Requirements change and depend on the product, so confirm them with your importer, forwarder and the destination authority.
