Key Regulations and General Export Permits
In this section, you will find information regarding key
Regulations and General Export Permits.
In accordance with the Export
and Import Permits Act (EIPA), all goods and technology destined
for countries contained on the Area
Control List (ACL) and all goods listed on the Export
Control List (ECL), with the exception of some goods destined
for the United States, require an export permit.
The EIPA gives the Governor-in-Council the power to establish
the ECL to control the export of goods for any of the following purposes:
-
to control the export of arms, ammunition, implements or munitions
of war or articles of a strategic nature or value the use of which
might be detrimental to the security of Canada;
-
encourage the further processing of certain natural resources in
Canada;
-
to ensure that there is an adequate supply and distribution of the
article in Canada for defence or other needs.
-
limit the export of goods in circumstances of surplus supply and
depressed prices;
- to implement an intergovernmental arrangement or commitment.
The EIPA grants the Governor-in-Council the authority to establish the
ACL; a list of countries to which it is deemed necessary to control the
export of any goods.
