Import & Export Licensing
Under the
Nuclear Non-Proliferation Import and Export Control Regulations Canadian
importers and exporters are required to obtain and comply with licences
controlling the international transfer of nuclear and nuclear-related items. The
CNSC is the federal authority that licenses both the export and import of
nuclear materials, non-nuclear materials, nuclear equipment and nuclear
technology. In fulfilling this statutory responsibility, the CNSC evaluates and
takes appropriate action on export and import licence applications respecting
all of Canada’s nuclear non-proliferation, safeguards and security obligations.
The CNSC also licenses the export of nuclear-related dual-use materials,
equipment and technology. Nuclear-related dual-use items are materials,
equipment, software and technology that have legitimate non-nuclear uses but
which could also make a significant contribution to nuclear explosive or
unsafeguarded nuclear fuel cycle activities.
