Issue 473, May 19, 2005

New export regulations became effective May 16, 2005 in Canada. Canada Border Services Agency will implement changes as a result of these new regulations.

The exporter is ultimately responsible to insure that exports are reported by submitting all export declarations, permits and documents required by other government departments to the CBSA as outlined in the Exported Goods Regulations (D Memorandum D20-1-0). This requires that proof is submitted to Canada Customs either electronically or manually, that the goods are ready, eligible and declared for export.

DHL Danzas Air & Ocean in Canada has signed a memorandum of understanding with the CBSA agreeing to insure that any export we are involved with is properly reported to Customs within the time frames allotted.

We undertake to implement a verification process to ensure the required documentation is submitted and reported within the allotted time frames outlined in the new regulations.

Effective June 1, 2005, we will implement a fee of CAD $10.00 or USD $7.50 for this validation service.

The service fees for preparation of the B13 remain unchanged.

Sincerely,

Brian Lindholm
Executive V.P. & C.O.O., North America
