As a follow-up to our member update last Friday, June 26th and our newsletter from earlier today, we are forwarding the following two communications from Health Canada formally 
announcing revisions to their CUSMA implementation:
- DEL Bulletin No. 89 Coming into force of Regulatory Amendments (EN/FR) which provides for the implementation of the CUSMA provisions for ALL qualifying D.I.N. products which are outlined in the enclosed table. This applies BOTH to the elimination of quarantine and confirmatory re-testing requirements (thereby allowing direct shipment to wholesalers/retailers), and the provision of samples under the new regulations.
- Update and Next Steps on the implementation of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) / Mise à jour et prochaines étapes sur la mise en œuvre de l’accord Canada-États-Unis-Mexique (ACEUM) which we have been advised will be sent to all NPN and DIN holders over the coming days and no later than by close of business on July 3rd. It is intended to provide an update as to the further amendments and interim measures being taken to ensure full compliance with CUSMA effective July 1st. This includes adding a table of natural health products which will be eligible for the new sampling provisions.
Both documents are consistant with the information as previously reported. Should any company or their legal counsel require further clarification, please contact your CA team or the Health Canada contacts identified in the Health Canada Update.
CA would also encourage you to register for the Health Canada Information Session scheduled for July 22nd. The registration information is included in the Update and Next Steps document. Please register early as participants are limited to 200.
Should you have any questions, please contact your CA team at ca@cosmeticsalliance.ca.
