Customs have published another Trade Compliance brochure that provides some guidance to importers and exporters to meet all the requirements involved with moving goods across the Canadian Border. It is a good overview and something management should read to understand the obligations companies have under the Customs Act and other Government Agencies. In addition to this CBSA also discusses some benefits for compliant companies that will save your company money with programs like Customs Self Assessment (CSA) and Free and Secure Trade (FAST). There are additional links to other useful information sites in this brochure. Bottom line – it pays to be compliant.
