Export Declaration

An export declaration must be submitted to CBSA before your goods arrive at the border.

It is often required for controlled and regulated goods. These goods also require permits and licences for export.

You may notice that an export declaration is NOT REQUIRED to the US. This is because Canada and the US already share information on imports and exports.

Export declarations are used by the government to:

  • Control the export of regulated and controlled goods
  • Collect statistical information about Canada’s export
