Navigating the complex regulatory landscape requires zero compromise. Our manufacturing infrastructure is Health Canada Site-Licensed and fully cGMP compliant (21 CFR Part 111). Every batch supplied to Chicago importers includes comprehensive Master Batch Records, finished product Testing Certificates (CoA), and Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) audit readiness.

Procurement Guidance

Frequently Asked Questions by Chicago Supplement Buyers

Essential answers regarding customs clearance, minimum order quantities, turn-around times, and quality control protocols.

What are the typical Lead Times for custom formulation projects delivered to Chicago?
For re-orders of existing stock formulas, production and transit typically take 3 to 4 weeks. Completely custom formulations requiring specialized raw ingredient sourcing, pilot trial batching, and custom artwork setup generally take 6 to 8 weeks. Expedited freight routes into Illinois ensure transit time from our facility is under 48 hours once released by quality assurance.
How are USMCA tariffs handled for supplement exports from Canada to Illinois?
Under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), qualifying dietary supplements manufactured in Canada enjoy duty-free tariff treatment when imported into the United States. Our logistics team provides a completed USMCA Certificate of Origin alongside commercial invoices and packing slips to guarantee smooth U.S. Customs clearance.
What Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs) apply for private label supplement runs?
MOQs depend on the selected dosage form. Powder formulations typically start at 1,000 units, encapsulation and tablet production runs start at 100,000 capsules/tablets, and softgels or gummy production runs start at 300,000 units due to machine calibration batch sizes. Contact our team to request tiered pricing breakdowns based on your projected initial run volume.
Do you assist with FDA registration and FSVP compliance for US distributors?
Yes. As a Health Canada Site-Licensed contract manufacturer, our facilities adhere to cGMP guidelines that meet or exceed US FDA 21 CFR Part 111 regulations. We furnish Chicago importers with complete Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) documentation packages, including facility registration numbers, third-party audit reports, and certified Certificates of Analysis.
Can we supply proprietary raw materials for custom blending at your facility?

Our Quality Assurance department conducts strict quarantine and verification procedures before approving third-party ingredients into commercial production runs.
Who retains the Intellectual Property (IP) for custom developed formulas?
Your brand retains 100% ownership of your custom proprietary formulations and brand artwork. Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) are signed prior to formulation discussions to protect your trade secrets and ensure full commercial confidentiality.
