Automated Import Reference System (AIRS)

CFIA-AIRS is the automated import reference system of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). It is a user-friendly, searchable database of CFIA import requirements. Through a series of questions and answers, the system will lead you through the applicable regulations and policies to information on all CFIA import requirements for specific commodities.

Minimum Requirements: Netscape 4.5+ or MS Internet Explorer 5.5+

The Automated Import Reference System (AIRS) uses pop-up windows for some user messages. Please note that this may cause problems for users with pop-up blockers installed with Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) or by a third-party pop-up blocker. To work around this behaviour, you may use one of the following methods that is appropriate for your situation.

Method 1: Configure the Windows XP SP2 pop-up blocker

If you are using the Windows XP SP2 pop-up blocker, configure the pop-up blocker to enable pop-ups from http://airs-sari.inspection.gc.ca/

To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Start Internet Explorer.
  2. On the Tools menu, point to Pop-up Blocker, and then click Pop-up Blocker Settings.
  3. In the Address of Web site to allow box, type http://airs-sari.inspection.gc.ca/ and then click Add.
  4. Click Close to close the Pop-up Blocker Settings dialog box.

Method 2: Configure a third-party pop-up blocker

If you are using a third-party pop-up blocker, configure the pop-up blocker program to allow pop-ups from http://airs-sari.inspection.gc.ca/

For more information about how to configure the third-party pop-up blocker, see the documentation for your pop-up blocker program.
