CBSA Trade Verification Priorities – July 2024

The CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency) has released its updated list of Trade Compliance Verification Priorities which are the commodities that the CBSA will be focusing on for audit purposes in 2024.  

Although the CBSA audits a wide variety of products beyond this listing, importers of these specific commodities should be aware of the CBSA’s increased interest in these products and ensure that they are being declared compliantly. Areas of special focus for the CBSA include accurate product classification, compliant valuation and free-trade agreement application.  

The full listing of products and more information on the CBSA’s auditing process can be found on the CBSA website.
