A U.S. device company looking to import into Canada was not aware their product was in fact classified as a medical device, therefore could not sell in Canada without a Medical Device Establishment Licence (MDEL). Upon import, the product was held in storage at Canadian customs until they could get the MDEL. The company was referred to RaQa Consulting by a trusted logistics company.
RAQA acted quickly to get the MDEL in place and ensured all other necessary documentation (SOP's, etc.) were filed.
