Verifying establishment registration in CIFER

Product

Note: For products that do not require other approvals apart from CIFER, (for example, ice cream) the manufacturer does not need to be on the list of the establishments and the standard health certificate can be issued. Furthermore, China also requires a certificate of origin for these products. The exporter can obtain this document from the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. The CFIA does not need to review this document.
