The Wisdom Of Health Canada – Importation Update
Unregistered Pest Control Products For Personal Use
Health Canada Is Updating The
Rules For The Importation Of Pest
Control Products For Personal Use
If you are planning on IMPORTING pest control products into Canada, you should know that Health Canada is UPDATING the rules for the IMPORTATION of these products for PERSONAL USE.
UNREGISTERED pest control products IMPORTED from other countries [ i.e. America ] have NOT been assessed for safety by Health Canada, and may NOT be labeled or packaged properly for safe use in Canada.
For this reason, the Pest Control Products Regulations are being UPDATED to further protect the health, safety, and environment of Canadians.
――――――――――――――――――――
The Wisdom Of Health Canada – Importation Update
What You Should Do
Residents Can No Longer Import Unregistered
Pest Control Products Into Canada [ From
America ] If They Are Not Equivalent To
Those Already Registered By Health Canada
Residents Will No Longer Be Allowed To
Purchase Unregistered Pest Control Products
On-Line And Have Them Shipped To Canada
― They Must Import It Into Canada In Person
Starting April 18th, 2018, you will NO LONGER IMPORT UNREGISTERED pest control products into Canada if they are NOT EQUIVALENT to those already REGISTERED by Health Canada for personal use in or around your home ( i.e. Domestic Class products ).
An EQUIVALENT pest control product is one that has the SAME ACTIVE INGREDIENT in the same concentration.
In addition, you will no longer be allowed to purchase UNREGISTERED pest control products ON-LINE and have them SHIPPED to Canada.
The purchaser of the product must IMPORT it into Canada IN PERSON.
In addition, the UPDATED regulations state that the pest control product must ―
• NOT be an organism or a device
• NOT exceed 500 mL or 500 g in quantity
• be in original packaging with original label that must be in at least one official language
• be authorized for use as a pest control product in another country and bear the assigned authorization number
Canadians can use the Health Canada ON-LINE PESTICIDE LABEL DATABASE to access information on ALL REGISTERED pest control products in Canada.
http://pr-rp.hc-sc.gc.ca/ls-re/index-eng.php
They can also use the Pesticide Labels MOBILE APP to search for REGISTERED pest control products by product name, active ingredient, registrant name, or full label contents.

The Wisdom Of Health Canada
Incident Reports
Adverse Incidents Related To The Use Of
A Pest Control Product Should Be Reported
To The Manufacturer, Who Is Required By
Law To Report It To Health Canada
All pest control products that are REGISTERED for use in Canada have a Pest Control Product ( PCP ) registration number on the label.
It is important to read the label on a pest control product carefully, as it also contains specific information on using the product safely.
ADVERSE INCIDENTS related to the use of a pest control product should be reported to the manufacturer, who is required by law to report it to Health Canada.
You may also report an incident directly to Health Canada by completing an INCIDENT REPORT FORM.
