The Canada Border Services Agency updates its verification targets

July 9, 2020

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) posted on its website a few changes to the list of goods which are currently subject to its verification priorities.

Through verifications the Agency assesses importers' compliance with CBSA administered legislation, determines compliance within industry sectors and assesses the integrity of trade data received from importers.

Verifications usually concern the origin of imported goods, their tariff classification and their value for duty.

Additions or changes were made for the following items in the tariff classification category:

  • Spent fowl (Round 2 - new)
  • LED lamps (new)
  • Batteries (Round 4 - new)
  • Parts of lamps (Round 4 - new)
  • Other mountings and fittings, suitable for furniture (Round 2 - new)
