The CBSA Has Released the January 2024 Trade Compliance Verification Priorities

To be trade compliant, the importing community is expected to meet all the requirements governing the accounting of commercial goods imported into Canada, including:   

• 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  

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) monitors the extent to which commercial goods are trade compliant by conducting targeted verifications (audits) and by issuing verification priorities throughout the year.
