Canada HS 152190 Importers

Beeswax, other insect waxes, and spermaceti constitute a specialized import category within Canada's natural waxes sector. Beeswax is the most widely imported product in this classification, used extensively in cosmetics and personal care products, pharmaceutical formulations, candle manufacturing, food processing (as a coating and preservative), woodworking and furniture polish, leather finishing, and textile sizing. Major Canadian importers include multinational cosmetics companies such as L'Oreal Canada, specialty chemical distributors like Azelis Canada and Brenntag Canada, natural health product manufacturers including Natural Factors and The Green Beaver Company, and dedicated candle and soap manufacturers like Voyageur Soap & Candle Company and Coal and Canary. Canada imports beeswax from a diverse range of international suppliers, with significant volumes from China, India, Brazil, Australia, and African countries. The market also includes other insect-origin waxes such as shellac and spermaceti derivatives used in specialty industrial applications.
