CANADA BEVERAGE MANUFACTURING
Beverage Manufacturing Solutions for the Canadian Market
ACMFOOD manufactures OEM, ODM and private label beverages in Vietnam for Canadian importers, distributors and brand owners. Minimum order is 500 cartons per SKU and production takes 15 to 30 days. Facilities hold HACCP, ISO 22000 and FSSC 22000, and shipments depart from Ho Chi Minh City Port to Vancouver and Montreal.
Labelling is prepared in English and French, with CPTPP origin documents included.
YOUR BEVERAGE MANUFACTURING PARTNER
Supporting Beverage Brands Across Canada
Canada imports beverages through a licensed importer. Under the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations, your Canadian buyer holds the SFC licence and the preventive control plan, while the manufacturer supplies the specifications, test results and traceability records behind them.
ACMFOOD works to that split. We provide formulation, production, quality documentation and export paperwork; your importer handles the licence and the border declaration to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
Label artwork is prepared from the start for bilingual English and French copy and for the Canadian Nutrition Facts table, which follows a different format from the United States version.
Documents for Your Importer
Specifications, certificates of analysis and traceability records to support the preventive control plan.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Beverage Manufacturing for Canada
Answers to common questions from Canadian importers, distributors and private label beverage brands.
What is the minimum order quantity for Canada?
500 cartons per SKU is the standard minimum. Several SKUs can be combined into one container, which is the usual way to start a Canadian launch without overcommitting on any single flavour.
Do I need a licence to import beverages into Canada?
Your Canadian business does. Under the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations the importer holds the SFC licence and maintains a preventive control plan. ACMFOOD supplies the specifications, certificates of analysis and traceability records that support it. Confirm your own obligations with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency or your customs broker.
Does the label have to be in both English and French?
Yes. Mandatory label information must appear in both official languages. We plan artwork around this from the first draft, because retrofitting French copy into a layout designed for English alone usually means redoing the label.
Can I reuse my U.S. label artwork in Canada?
Not directly. The Canadian Nutrition Facts table uses a different format from the U.S. version, and the bilingual requirement changes the space available. Treat Canada as its own artwork, not a variant of the U.S. one.
Does CPTPP reduce the duty on beverages from Vietnam?
CPTPP is in force between Vietnam and Canada and provides preferential tariff treatment, claimed through a certification of origin rather than a certificate issued by an authority. The applicable rate depends on the HS code of your specific product, so check the tariff schedule before you build your landed cost.
Which port should my shipment go to?
Vancouver for western Canada and Montreal for the east. Transit times differ substantially between the two, which affects both your inventory planning and the shelf life remaining when the container arrives. Our products carry 18 to 24 months depending on product and packaging format.
