Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide CBSA with a certificate of analysis and the botanical source (cinchona bark) to support classification
• If the product is for pharmaceutical use, ensure it complies with Health Canada's Food and Drug Regulations
• Be aware that quinine is a prescription drug in Canada, so importation may require a Drug Establishment Licence
