La letra pequeña de la exportación de alimentos a Canadá

Resumen

Aunque Canadá es un país abierto al comercio internacional, sin embargo, la sobrerregulación de sus procesos de importación y trabas no arancelarias, particularmente en el sector alimentario, hacen muy complicada la entrada de nuevos suministradores. El objetivo de este artículo es mencionar los casos más sobresalientes en los sectores clave como lácteos, cárnicos y bebidas alcohólicas y prevenir al exportador español de las limitaciones y trabas que seguramente encontrará de cara a abrirse paso en este mercado. La metodología seguida resume la experiencia acumulada de la Oficina Económica y Comercial y el análisis de la multitud de requerimientos, procesos y restricciones que existen a la importación de productos alimenticios (incluidos los vinos) en Canadá, así como la consulta de las fuentes oficiales canadienses.
