Canadian Automated Export Declaration (CAED) Program 2016 Version Release
Updated: Come September 30th, 2020, the CAED is being replaced by the Canada Export Reporting System (CERS). For more details on CERS, please read our blog: CERS Export Report | Everything You Need To Know
The Canadian Automated Export Declaration (CAED) Program was launched by the Canada Border Services Agency on January 1, 1998, as a fast, inexpensive and easy way of reporting goods exported from Canada. The CAED application enables exporters or their agents (including service providers) to electronically report their goods directly to the Government of Canada thus eliminating the manual reporting process form (B13A). CAED is a great tool because it reduces your company's exposure to the Administrative Monetary Penalty System (AMPS).
About The CAED Application
The CAED application is free of charge and includes the following features:
- A Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (H.S.) classification search
- Built-in encryption
- Dialog boxes that remember input
- Extensive online help
- Online submission functionality

Electronic Filing For B13A
Some steamship agents will no longer submit the export documentation as there is a push to get exporters to be use the Canadian Export Declaration System (CAED), and thus saving you the shipper/receiver to have to present the export documentation in person at the appropriate designated export office.
It is important to note that shipments that require permits, you can still submit electronically, however, you must submit a hard copy of the CAED (B13A), along with a hard copy of the export permit in person to the designated export office at the place of exit.
