Importer of Record Support for Brands Entering Canada
Integrative Consulting Group helps international brands enter Canada with Canadian Importer of Record support, Canadian address support, regulatory review, CNF support, bilingual labelling, customs coordination, logistics planning, and practical market-entry guidance.
More Than an Address
IOR support should not be treated as a simple address listing. ICG supports qualified brands with a broader Canadian market-entry workflow built around compliance readiness, documentation, import coordination, and ongoing launch support.
A Canadian Import Partner Helps Reduce Friction Before Products Enter the Market
Selling into Canada requires more than shipping product across the border. Brands must consider product classification, ingredient and formula documentation, labelling, Canadian regulatory expectations, importer information, customs readiness, and the practical launch pathway.
ICG helps international companies organize these pieces into one coordinated plan. For suitable products, we can support the Canadian Importer of Record relationship while also helping your team prepare the documentation and operational steps needed for a more confident launch.
Need a Canadian Address for Cosmetic Notification?
For cosmetic products, Health Canada's Cosmetic Notification process requires Canadian manufacturer or importer information, including a Canadian address. For international brands without a Canadian office, this can create a practical barrier to market entry.
ICG can support qualified cosmetic and skincare brands with Canadian Importer of Record services, Canadian address support, CNF review or updates, bilingual label review, ingredient and claims screening, import documentation coordination, and launch-readiness planning.
IOR Support Is Not Just Address Use
ICG presents IOR support as part of a professional compliance and import-readiness relationship. Before we agree to support a product, we review the category, documentation, ingredients, labels, claims, shipment plan, and intended Canadian sales pathway.
