Inclusia is selective about the products we represent: differentiated, brand-led products that can support a long-term Canadian market-development relationship. We are not a sourcing agency or a buyer of general factory catalogues.

Inclusia builds Canadian businesses for brands. That means we invest in education, channel development and customer support around a product with a clear owner and a clear reason to exist. Price-led, private-label or general-catalogue offers are not something we can build a market around, and we do not respond to them.

What Canadian Review Requires Before Importing

Classification and origin

Canadian tariff classification and country of origin affect import treatment.

Documentation

Commercial, product and regulatory documents must be available as appropriate.

Regulation

For products regulated as medical devices, Canadian review can include device classification, MDL requirements for applicable Class II–IV devices and MDEL requirements for the proposed importer/distributor structure. Requirements are product- and activity-dependent.

Labelling and localization

Applicable Canadian and Quebec requirements should be identified before launch.

Supply

Minimum orders, lead time and replenishment affect Canadian inventory planning.

Warranty and support

A Canadian customer-support approach needs to be workable.

Tariff treatment is product- and origin-specific — no generic rate applies to a country. This is context, not customs advice. Source: CBSA, Proof of Origin of Imported Goods · Selling into Canada from elsewhere in Asia? See Canadian distribution for Asian brands.

FAQ

Questions Chinese manufacturers ask.

Does Inclusia work with Chinese manufacturers?
Yes — selectively, with manufacturers that own a differentiated brand and want a long-term Canadian market-development relationship.
Does Inclusia source private-label or OEM products?
No. Inclusia is a market-development distribution partner, not a sourcing agency, and does not buy general factory catalogues or commission private-label production.
What documentation should a manufacturer provide?
Product specifications, instructions, quality documentation and regulatory materials appropriate to the product, plus brand-ownership and current-market context.
How are tariffs on Chinese products determined in Canada?
By the product's tariff classification, its origin and the applicable Canadian tariff treatment — not by a single country-wide rate. Treatment is evaluated product by product.
Does Inclusia represent Chinese footwear manufacturers?
No. BILLY Footwear is Inclusia's exclusive footwear distribution partner, and Inclusia does not represent other footwear manufacturers in any market.
Do products need Canadian regulatory approval before discussions begin?
No — discussions can begin earlier. Regulatory and licensing requirements are evaluated as part of each potential Canadian distribution partnership, and what applies depends on the product.
