Help on accessing alternative formats, such as Portable Document Format (PDF), Microsoft Word and PowerPoint (PPT) files, can be obtained in the alternate format help section.
The Natural Health Products Regulations require individuals to obtain a product licence before they can sell a natural health product in Canada. To obtain a product licence, individuals must submit a product licence application to the Natural Health Products Directorate (NHPD). The application must include sufficient data to allow the NHPD to assess the safety, quality and efficacy of the natural health product when used under its recommended conditions of use.
To obtain more details on what constitutes a "complete" product licence application, consult the table titled "Information Requirements for Product Licensing".

Important Notice
To facilitate border entry of imported products, importers must provide product-specific submission numbers issued by the NHPD on shipping documents. If such information is not provided, products will be detained at Customs, and inspectors will recommend refusal of entry.
The Natural Health Product Directorate strongly encourages applicants to submit applications and replies to deficiency/information requests by courrier service (when the response is too large to fax) because of its greater reliability. Please note that we do not accept the submission of applications by fax.
Please send your submissions by courrier service to the Submission Management Division:
