REGULATORY IMPACT
ANALYSIS STATEMENT

(This statement is not part of the Regulations.)

Description

The Technical Amendments Regulations (Customs Tariff) 2003-1 amends the List of Tariff Provisions set out in the schedule to the Customs Tariff. The amendments correct minor, technical errors (i.e., typographical, translation or transposition errors) identified by the Standing Joint Committee for the Scrutiny of Regulations.

Other technical amendments are being made to the wording of three tariff items to better reflect terminology commonly used by industry in measuring performance of air conditioners. These are unrelated to the amendments resulting from the Committee's work.

Alternatives

No alternatives were considered. A regulation pursuant to section 13 of the Customs Tariff is the appropriate method in this instance of correcting technical errors inadvertently introduced into the Schedule to the Customs Tariff.

Benefits and Costs

Since the amendments contained in this Regulation are minor, technical changes, they will have no impact on existing policy. They also have no financial implications for Canadian manufacturers or importers.

Consultation

As these amendments are technical changes and do not involve any new policy or financial implications which could have an impact on Canadian manufacturers or importers, no consultations were undertaken.

Compliance and Enforcement

Compliance is not an issue. The Canada Customs and Revenue Agency is responsible for the administration of the customs and tariff legislation and regulations.
