Three regimes: the US (FDA/CVM under FFDCA + AAFCO state models + FSMA), Canada (CFIA under the Feeds Act & SFCR) and Mexico (SENASICA/COFEPRIS under NOM-012-SAG/ZOO-2020). All require ingredient-declaration labels, nutritional-adequacy statements and traceability; the US has no pre-market approval, while Canada/Mexico require establishment registration.
🧸 Pet Product Standards
US retailers typically require CPSIA/ASTM F963 toy limits; Canada uses the CCPSA and Toys Regulations; Mexico applies NOM-110-SCFI-2000. Electrical pet devices need relevant safety certification in each country.
📥 Import Requirements
US: FDA prior notice + foreign-establishment registration, HTS 2309.10 duty-free. Canada: AIRS + zoosanitary certificate, CUSMA duty-free from the US. Mexico: SENASICA permit + zoosanitary certificate, USMCA/T-MEC 0% from the US, 16% IVA. China-origin may face US Section 301 tariffs.
