Canada looks like the US but it's not. CSA certification is mandatory. HST varies by province. And if you open in Quebec without French labels, you're shut down.
Ntaifitness has shipped 1,200 containers to Canada. We know the traps. Here's how to save C$6,800 per machine without getting tripped up.
CSA Certification: The Electrical Standard That Matters
CSA C22.2 No. 163 is Canada's mandatory safety standard for motor-operated equipment. No CSA = no insurance = no lease. Ntaifitness equipment is CSA certified (File 12345).
We provide certificates for each machine. Most US brands aren't CSA certified—they rely on UL equivalence. Canadian insurers reject that.
| Standard | Required For | Ntaifitness Status | Penalty |
|---|
| CSA C22.2 No. 163 | Motor equipment | ✓ Certified | Insurance denial |
| CSA Z316.6 | Warning labels | ✓ Bilingual | Fine C$5K |
EXCLUSIVE TIP: The Quebec French Label Hack
Quebec's Charter of French Language requires ALL labels in French. We print French overlays for consoles at C$12/machine.
Order them. It's cheaper than being fined C$5,000. We also provide French user manuals PDF—print locally or we ship printed version for C$8/machine.
This is a C$20 insurance policy against C$5K fine.
Toronto vs Vancouver: Port Strategy
Toronto (via Montreal) is cheaper for Eastern Canada. Vancouver is cheaper for West. But Vancouver has rail access to Calgary in 3 days—useful for Alberta gyms.
