Hello Daryl,

Hopefully you can help clarifying this MDEL issue. The Gov't of Canada website has a page for the Guidance on Medical Device Establishment Licensing (GUI-0016) that states:

Establishment licence exemptions

The following persons are exempt from holding an MDEL to import into or sell a medical device in Canada: any person who imports a medical device for their own personal use or retailers, including: companies that sell medical devices to the end user (or ultimate consumer) for their own personal use.

Any convenience store can sell a toothbrush(Class I device) or an electric razor (Class II device) without paying for a MDEL. Would we as Amazon sellers not be retailers that sell to end users?

Your insight would be helpful
