CBSA Verification Priorities: July 2023

 

Are your goods on the verification priorities list?

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) targets specific industries and products for extra attention at the border to ensure importers are compliant with requirements for tariff classification, product valuation and country of origin.

CBSA’s list of targeted verification priorities is updated on an ongoing basis. The current list, published July 2023, is now available on the CBSA website.

It contains 14 types of goods targeted to ensure correct tariff classification and one type of goods identified for valuation. No goods are targeted for origin verifications at this time. Whatsnew_69179594_s

Two new items on the list are:

  • Freezers and other freezing equipment (Verification priority released in May 2023, results not yet available)
  • Washers and dryers (Verification priority released in May 2023, results not yet available)

Please review the 2023 Verification Priorities list carefully to see if your goods are on it.

If you’re importing any of the targeted items, pay extra attention to your import practices and customs paperwork. Any errors or inconsistencies can result in extra duty and penalties, disruptions to your supply chain, border delays and loss of good importer status with the CBSA.
