Canadian federal and provincial laws.
What happens if packaging is not compliant?
Packaging will be audited periodically and inspected on a regular basis for adherence to all of Lowe’s requirements. Non-compliance
by vendors with the packaging guidelines as outlined above, on pages 125-128 of this VSG manual, or the Master Standard Buying
Agreement may result in the following:
• product may be deemed defective
• product may be subject to fines and/or removal from Lowe’s stores
• product may be returned to the vendor at the vendor’s expense
• shipments may be rejected
• vendors may be delisted
Vendors with product found to be non-compliant to US packaging requirements will be notified and will
have 90 days to bring their product into compliance. These vendors will face fines, and their ongoing failure
to comply with US requirements will make their product subject to removal from Lowe’s US stores.
Vendors who attempt to ship their non-compliant product into Canada will have their shipments rejected
and these vendors will face fines and delisting.
