Items that are printed in the United States (sales brochures, literature, catalogues envelopes etc.) for distribution in Canada, must have the phrase "Printed in U.S.A." printed on each individual item. This is a Canada Customs requirement. Unfortunately, if this requirement is not met, Canada Customs will demand that each piece be manually stamped with this phrase before they will permit the shipment to clear customs. Stamping materials this way is a tedious task. However, it can be easily avoided by having the printer include this phrase when the materials are on the press.
