More Information
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) assists other federal government departments/agencies by administering and enforcing legislation and regulations of those departments/agencies.

Certain other goods are controlled, meaning that permits, certificates, labelling or authorizations from a federal department/agency are needed before the goods can be released by the CBSA, which holds them until the importer or exporter meets all the requirements.
