Contact Us TodaySeattle sits closer to Canada than any major US food city, and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency figures in local business accordingly — Washington seafood, produce, and specialty foods flow through the Blaine crossing into British Columbia daily, and Seattle exporters feel CFIA through border document checks, their BC importers' licence obligations, and Canadian labelling enforcement. For seafood especially, CFIA import controls carry specific documentation expectations that a purely FDA-focused compliance program never generates.
Your Canadian importer needs their SFC licence with fish scope, and CFIA import requirements for fish include supplier and product documentation the importer must hold — your processing records, HACCP evidence, and species and origin declarations feed that file. Border rejections usually trace to paperwork mismatches rather than product problems; we align your export documents with what the importer's CFIA file needs.
Yes — bilingual English-French labelling, metric net quantities, Canadian nutrition facts formatting, and Canada-specific allergen and composition rules all apply at retail, and CFIA enforces them. Product relabelled hastily at the border is a recurring cost we help Seattle exporters design out by building Canada-compliant labels into the artwork cycle from the start.
