Service Background

      Canada has long ranked among the top destinations for China’s apparel and textile exports in recent years, making it a textile and apparel market that foreign trade enterprises cannot overlook. Canada’s supervision of apparel and textiles centres on three core areas: label compliance, fire safety and hazardous substance restrictions. Governed by federal legislation such as the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act and enforced jointly by Health Canada and the Canada Border Services Agency, it forms a comprehensive and stringent control system.
