Am I required to obtain a Canadian certification for my product in order to ship into Canada, even if my product is already UL certified in the United States?
Yes. Canadian certification from an accredited company is required for any electrical product that has a plug. The Standards Council of Canada maintains a list of accredited companies, including Underwriters Laboratories of Canada and CSA International. If you already have UL certification for your product in the United States, you may wish to contact the agency that provided the United States certification and ask them to extend the certification to Canada. Vendors need to be aware of potentially long lead times for Canada certification and are ultimately responsible for beginning the certification process early enough to ensure availability of compliant product.
