Are you responsible for your company's customs compliance into Canada? Are your goods regulated by the CFIA? Are you in charge of completing the customs documents for your company? Whether you are new to this or not, if your goods entering Canada are regulated by CFIA and you need an expert to take the time to answer your questions, then this seminar is for you. We will review CFIA requirements, the entry process at the border and the different reviews a shipment may undergo before release. Shipments of CFIA regulated goods cross the border and get delivered daily; however, customs cautions that this does not confirm a shipment 'Released' status by the CFIA. If you also ship regulated goods into the U.S., consider attending our CFIA and FDA bundle.
