Reporting your exports

Reporting requirements under the new Reporting of Exported Goods Regulations.

The new Reporting of Exported Goods Regulations were published in the Canada Gazette, Part II, Volume 139, Number 4, on February 23, 2005.

Reporting your exports can be effected in one of four ways:

Goods NOT controlled, regulated, or prohibited by other government departments
Goods must be reported to the CBSA by filing an export declaration prior to export when:
  • the goods are valued at CAN $2,000 or more; and
  • the final destination of the goods is a country other than the U.S., Puerto Rico, or U.S. Virgin Islands.
Controlled, regulated, or prohibited goods
Regardless of the value of the goods, all goods that are controlled, regulated, or prohibited by any act of Parliament must be reported to customs, and must be accompanied by any permits, licences, or certificates required by the government departments or agencies that regulate the export of these goods.

See Other government department (OGD) requirements to find out if the goods you want to export are controlled, prohibited, or regulated and require a permit.

An outline of your obligations when exporting goods from Canada can be found in the Exporting Goods from Canada: A Handy Customs Guide for Exporters. Another brochure, SERVE - Strategies Export Control Enforcement Program (RC4130), provides information on industrial awareness that helps ensure that Canadian exporters have the information they need to comply with the law.
