Canada legal status, best-available proxy
Our substance schema currently tracks the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, and Australia directly. For Canada we display the closest-available reference (the United States classification) as a proxy. The actual Canada classification may differ, particularly for racetams, peptides, and prescription-only compounds. Verify with Health Canada (Natural and Non-prescription Health Products Directorate) or a Canada-licensed pharmacist before importing.

Shipping to Canada
US-based vendors typically ship to Canada in 5–10 business days via USPS or UPS with possible customs delays. Health Canada's NHPD licensing system regulates supplement claims; many US-marketed nootropics arrive without Canadian NPN numbers and may attract customs scrutiny on larger orders.
Customs and import notes
The Canada Border Services Agency applies GST/HST on imported supplements; provincial taxes may add 5–15%. Modafinil and armodafinil require a Canadian prescription and are Schedule F (prescription-only) under the Food and Drugs Act. Personal importation of a 90-day supply with valid prescription is permitted under the Personal Importation policy.
Import responsibility: You, not the vendor, are responsible for ensuring that the substance you order can legally enter Canada. Vendors typically state their shipping policy but cannot guarantee customs clearance in every jurisdiction; refunds for seized parcels are rare. If you have any doubt about Kava’s status in Canada, do not order until you have verified with a pharmacist, customs broker, or qualified clinician.

Prices in CAD
Prices in our vendor table are shown in USD. To convert to CAD ($), use the live FX rate at checkout, vendors typically charge in their local currency and let your card handle conversion, or in CAD directly if the vendor maintains a Canada storefront.
For shipments from outside Canada, factor in (a) shipping cost (commonly USD 10–25 international standard or USD 25–55 express), (b) customs VAT/duty (commonly applied above a national de-minimis threshold), and (c) any payment-network FX margin. The cheapest sticker price in the table is rarely the cheapest landed cost once these are added.
