Imported goods vary greatly in terms of requirements, with food and food-related products presenting distinct challenges. Unlike other commodities, food items are often time-sensitive and necessitate special handling throughout the importation process. In addition to standard customs procedures, they undergo thorough inspection by multiple government agencies. These extra precautions are implemented to guarantee the safety and quality of imported food products.
Both Canada and the U.S. have robust health food industries, driven by consumer demand for products that promote wellness, sustainability, and natural ingredients. The import and export of health foods play a significant role in meeting this demand, fostering trade relations, and supporting the growth of the global health food market.
