Customs Procedures
- Restrictions

Few products belong to the controlled or restricted category (some agricultural products, cultural goods, pharmaceutical products and some types of technology). The prohibited goods category includes, of course, products like drugs and counterfeit money. To determine if your products fall into one of these categories, you can contact the The Export and Import Controls Bureau (EICB), which manages a webpage of people-resources giving the telephone numbers to call to get information on the various types of controlled products.

Every exporter is required to obtain a business number (BN) account designated for export or import/export from the Canada Revenue Agency. The exporter needs also to verify if the goods are controlled, regulated or prohibited to be exported by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) or any other government department or agency. It is important to determine if the goods require an export declaration and/or a permit/certificate/licence and if so follow the procedures indicated on the official website of the CBSA.
The exporter may delegate the act of completing and submitting export declarations or documents to a third party, such as a customs broker.

- Necessary Declaration

According to Statistics Canada’s latest report, released in May 2020, the vast majority of the 73.3 million freight shipments in 2017 were towed by truck (90%). Shipments by rail accounted for about 9% of the total, and shipments by air accounted for the rest.
Canada is ranked number one for road provision among all G7 countries. Canada's railway system is the third largest among OECD countries. Vancouver is Canada's biggest port and is constantly classified among the first five North American ports in terms of tonnage of imports and exports. Enabling the trade of approximately $240 billion in goods, port activities sustain 115,300 jobs, $7 billion in wages, and $11.9 billion in GDP across Canada.
