Selling your own supplement on Amazon.ca: what the manufacturer supplies
To sell your own supplement on Amazon.ca, your brand runs the seller account and the listing and holds the product licence (NPN). The manufacturer supplies a finished, labelled product and its documents. PharmaEurope runs that whole project in-house at its certified plant in the European Union: formula and sample, label and packaging design, printing, manufacturing, filling, quality control, export documents and shipping. One company answers for the finished product, and PharmaEurope already ships to Canada. White label on a ready-made formula starts from 100 units, your own formula from 500 bottles for capsules and tablets, and powders and sachets from 300 kg of finished blend. Production takes from 2 weeks on a ready-made formula and from 4 weeks on your own. The label is printed at the plant in English and French, with your barcode and the batch number on it, and every batch ships with a specification and a Certificate of Analysis.

Can I sell supplements on Amazon.ca under my own brand?
Yes. Your brand holds the product licence and its NPN, a Canadian importer brings the goods in, and PharmaEurope supplies the finished product and the manufacturer documents. The account, the listing and the decision on approval sit with your brand and with Amazon. PharmaEurope's part is a product that arrives labelled, coded and documented, so the listing can be built on it.
What does the manufacturer supply for an Amazon.ca listing?
PharmaEurope supplies the product, the label and the paperwork from one plant, so one company answers for the finished product. The product is made to an approved sample and specification and filled and packed at the same site. It is labelled in English and French and printed at the plant, with your barcode and batch number, and it is tested before release with a specification and a Certificate of Analysis for every batch. Raw material documentation, an allergen statement and a shelf-life statement are provided with the order or on request. An independent laboratory report in your brand's name and copies of the site certificates come on request. These are the documents your importer and licence holder work from. The full list is on the services page.
How is the label made for an Amazon.ca supplement?
PharmaEurope designs the label and packaging and prints them at the plant in English and French. The text comes from your licence holder, who supplies the regulatory wording and the NPN. Your brand registers the barcode, and PharmaEurope prints it on the label. The batch number on the label matches the batch's Certificate of Analysis, and the date printed on the pack is the one the stability data supports. Nothing is sent to a separate printer, and nothing is printed until you have approved the final artwork in writing.
What quality documents back an Amazon.ca supplement?
Every PharmaEurope batch is tested before release and ships with a specification and a Certificate of Analysis. The plant holds ISO 22000:2018, GMP to the Food Supplements Europe guide and HACCP under Regulation (EC) 852/2004, issued by BM Certification, with a scope covering tablets, capsules and powders. It is registered with the US FDA as a food facility, which is a registration and not an approval. Testing by an independent accredited laboratory is added on request, with the report in your brand's name, which you can show to a marketplace.
“A batch does not leave the warehouse without a clean test report and a Certificate of Analysis. At the final stage we check the physical parameters — average weight, uniformity of mass and disintegration time; microbiological purity — yeasts and moulds within limits, no E. coli and no Salmonella — and heavy metals; the assay, meaning the real content of each active ingredient against what your label declares; and the seal — the induction membrane and the closure — so the product does not oxidise or take on moisture in transit.”
How small can a first Amazon.ca order be?
PharmaEurope makes white label first runs from 100 units, so a brand can test one product on Amazon.ca before a standard run of 500 bottles. Your own formula starts from 500 bottles per product for capsules and tablets, and powders and sachets from 300 kg of finished blend. The minimum is per product: three flavours are three products. Ready-made capsule formulas are packed in bottles of 30, 60, 90 or 120. The full table is on the minimum order quantity page.
Which pack suits a supplement sold online?
PharmaEurope packs in PET bottles from 100 to 500 ml in seven colours, glass bottles, blisters with a printed carton, effervescent tubes, jars and zip-lock pouches. An induction-seal closure is chosen where tamper evidence matters to the retailer. Amber and opaque bottles are chosen for light-sensitive actives. Zip-lock bags are normally used for refills and sampling rather than retail shelves. Your own packaging can be used on request after it is checked on the filling line.
How does stock get from the plant to Amazon.ca?
PharmaEurope hands over EXW at the plant by default, or delivers FCA or DAP on request to the point your importer names, with the export documents your importer needs. Your importer clears the goods with the CBSA. On the shortest published sailings, sea transit to Montreal takes about 11 days port to port from Rotterdam and about 13 days from Antwerp, and door to door takes longer.
