Listing language: English and French
Referral Fees & Costs
Canadian referral fees are similar to the US structure but in CAD. Canada requires both English and French labeling on many product categories under the Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act. GST/HST registration is required once annual Canadian revenue exceeds $30,000 CAD.
Listing Requirements
- ✓Bilingual labeling (English and French) is required for consumer products sold in Canada under the Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act — this includes product names, ingredients, and safety warnings
- ✓GST/HST registration required for sellers above $30,000 CAD annual revenue threshold
- ✓Products must comply with Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA) — recalls and safety advisories from Health Canada must be monitored
- ✓Electrical products require CSA certification or equivalent (ULC, cUL) rather than just US UL certification
- ✓Food products must comply with Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) labeling requirements
- ✓Measurements should include both imperial and metric on most product types
