CBSA Trade Verification Priorities - July 2022
All affected importers should carefully note the information below and consider any import adjustments as needed.
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has released its recent round of priorities for trade compliance verifications.
A compliance verification is an audit of your books and records to ensure that you, as the importer of record, meet all the legislative requirements governing the accounting of commercial goods. This includes, but is not limited to:
- classifying their commercial goods under the appropriate tariff classification
- accurately declaring the origin and value of the goods, in accordance with legislative requirements
- paying the appropriate duties and taxes on the goods
