Forms B3 Canada Customs Coding Form and B2 Canada Customs - Adjustment Request in saveable format

What is the program?

The application, entitled Saveable Forms B3 Canada Customs Coding Form and B2 Canada Customs - Adjustment Request, is a stand-alone computer program that allows users to enter information to a form and save it, and generate a PDF version of the form that can be printed.

What is the purpose of this program?

The program allows importers to save data they entered on the B3 Canada Customs Coding Form and the B2 Canada Customs - Adjustment Request Form, so that it can be used again later when needed. This program will save time for Canadians who often import similar commercial goods or quantities from the same vendors, because they will no longer have to retype the same information each time they fill out the forms.

Please note that you should not use this program, if you intend to include more than five lines for a particular transaction on the B3 form. In this case you should use the fillable B3 form in PDF format. Also, a fillable B2 form in PDF format should be used, if you are making adjustments to more than 2 lines for a particular transaction.

Who is the program intended for?

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that import commercial goods into Canada will benefit most from the program.
