In the global food industry, ensuring compliance with customs and regulatory frameworks is essential for businesses seeking to import products into key markets like the United States, Canada, and Europe. Each region enforces strict regulations designed to protect consumer health, safety, and environmental standards, particularly when it comes to food products. At Groupe Transit Inc., we have extensive experience in customs management and FDA regulatory verification, offering comprehensive support to help businesses navigate these complex requirements.
Our team specializes in assisting companies with food product imports, ensuring compliance with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the U.S., the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). We provide tailored guidance to help you meet the necessary legislative requirements, streamline your customs process, and avoid delays, penalties, or the refusal of entry at borders.


- Determining Product Specifications: Each country has specific standards for food safety, labeling, and packaging. Our team helps determine if the products you plan to import are subject to any unique regulatory specifications, ensuring they meet the safety and quality requirements for the target market.
- Ingredient Verification: Food products must comply with strict regulations regarding ingredient disclosure and safety. We assist in verifying that all ingredients meet FDA, CFIA, and EFSA standards, including potential allergens, preservatives, and additives. Proper ingredient verification ensures compliance and minimizes the risk of product rejection.
- Import Permit Requirements: Some food products, such as meat, dairy, or processed goods, may require an import permit before entry. We help you navigate the permit application process, ensuring that all required documentation is in place to facilitate a smooth customs clearance.
- Quotas and Availability: Certain food items may be subject to import quotas, limiting the volume of products that can be imported during a specific period. We provide insights into the quota system and guide you on how to manage product availability to avoid any disruptions to your supply chain.
- Prohibited Products: Certain food products may be prohibited from entry into certain markets due to health, safety, or environmental concerns. Our team evaluates your product list to ensure none of the items are restricted or banned in the U.S., Canada, or Europe.
