If you are in the “Nutraceutical” industry you have probably been starting to read a lot about the new Canadian health and beauty regulations that will make it almost impossible to import these products into Canada. While it was always a bit restrictive to sell these products in Canada, they allowed for import of them without burdensome regulations.
However, starting on January 1st, 2013 imports of these products will require the same amount of testing of all products that are sold internationally into Canada, making it very cost restrictive to ship them. Luckily a few companies realized this issue and immediately started to work with Canadian manufacturers to create private label manufacturing of Nutraceutical products that have already passed Canada’s strict requirements.
One such company is our good friends at At Cost Fufillment, who have opened a new drop shipping and fulfillment center in Toronto, Canada. While the current Mayor of Toronto opted for using less than recommended products, the rest of Canada will benefit from this new facility. According to a press release by ACF, the benefits of this new center are as follows:
1) Ship everywhere in Canada within 1-3 business days.
2) Avoid delays in your products getting caught up in customs.
3) Floor stock available for hot products like Yacon Syrup, Garcinia Cambogia, Cleansers, and Skin. This allows advertisers to not have to carry stock, utilizing their spend for more media!
4) Have custom formulations manufactured directly in Canada. This saves money on shipping plus avoids issues with customs that often delay shipments.
5) Allows trial merchants to ship faster, cutting down on refunds and chargebacks plus meeting compliance with Visa’s guidelines for trial merchants.
6) Utilize At Cost Fulfillment’s Platform to seamlessly manage your inventory, track packages, and integrate with your CRM of choice.
7) SAVING THE BEST FOR LAST: At Cost Fulfillment has six-sigma processes that provide health and beauty advertisers the lowest rates in the industry. On some packages the ACF rates can beat the competition by 50% of more!
