Need for the Document

• Fertilizer or Supplement Registration from the Pre-market Application Submissions Office of Canadian Food Inspection Agency is required for the legal manufacture or sale of any fertilizer or supplement by any business entity under the Fertilizers Act of Canada.

Information which might help

• Do not complete and submit an application form without first determining whether or not the product is exempt from registration. The registration triggers guidance document has been designed to assist proponents in answering this question.
• A fertilizer or supplement that does not require registration will not be registered. If an application is submitted to register a product that is exempt from registration, the application will be denied and the application fee will not be refunded.
• Applications for registration can be made through the electronic submission platform (My CFIA) and applicants are strongly encouraged to submit through My CFIA. While email or mail applications will still be accepted, they are slower to process and are therefore not the CFIA's preferred format/route from a file processing perspective.
• For electronic applications, the fertilizer or supplement registration application form is not required as the application process in My CFIA will prompt the user to submit all required information.

Other uses of the Document/Certificate
