Product certification

Certify New Buy BC Products

Submit this form if you are a logo-licensed organization seeking to add new products to your Buy BC logo licence.

The licence number has a 00C-0000 format. If you do not remember your Buy BC logo licence number, email buybclogolicensing@gov.bc.ca.
Select Organization Type(Required)
Primary Producers can apply to certify products that are 100% grown, caught, or raised in B.C. Processors transform raw materials (ingredients) into new products; for a processed product to qualify 51% or more of total costs of production must originate in B.C.

The products listed above must be either 100% grown, caught, or raised in B.C. —OR—processed and packaged in B.C. with 51% or more of the direct cost of producing the product in its final form originating in B.C. (i.e., sum of raw material, direct labour, variable processing, and packaging).
When the main raw materials are available in sufficient quantities from B.C. producers, they are used in the production of the products.(Required)

Direct Cost of Producing Products Calculator

The completed Direct Cost of Producing Products Calculator is required for Agriculture, Food and Beverage, and/or Seafood Processors. It outlines the percentage of direct costs of producing the product that originate in B.C.

Please download the Calculator and fill the spreadsheet with your product information. Information for each individual product (SKU) is required. Once completed, upload the file below.

For a processed product to qualify, a percentage of variable processing costs must originate within British Columbia, and the total direct cost of production must be equal to, or higher than 51%.
