Documents for importing whole brown lentils into Canada
Canada regulates imported food through the Canadian Food Inspection Agency under the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations. These are the documents and checks prepared for whole brown lentils consignments, as each one requires:
- Safe Food for Canadians Regulations. Your SFC licence and preventive control plan need supplier evidence; we provide traceability, lot analysis and process records to support it.
- CFIA import conditions. Plant products are shipped to the conditions listed for them in CFIA’s Automated Import Reference System (AIRS), checked before each order.
- Bilingual labelling. Retail packs are printed in English and French with net quantity, origin, dates, a nutrition facts table where required and the Canadian importer’s details.
- Export documentation. Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, bill of lading or air waybill, and a phytosanitary certificate where needed.
- Fumigation certificate. Containers are fumigated with phosphine before sealing and certified, so stored-grain insects do not travel with the cargo.
- Khapra beetle declaration. CFIA regulates stored products from khapra beetle countries, including India. Where required, the phytosanitary certificate carries the declaration CFIA asks for.
