    Hi all,

    As a medical device manufacturer, Class III device (in Health Canada), I am having difficulty understanding the requirements as it relates to the "Importer of Record".  I understand they need to be listed as a supplier however, would this be a distributor/customer or a customs broker?  I need a little clarification.  How does anyone else list their importer of record and maintain it as a supplier?

    Hi there. Wonder if you can elaborate on the "importer of record" citation? I assume you are based outside of Canada and have an importer based in Canada? That importer needs a MDEL to operate in compliance with Canadian MDRs. Assume for the purposes of ISO 13485 / MDSAP you would consider them as a distributor but would appreciate a little more context to see if I can help.
