Video | How Other Government Departments Affect Imports
In addition to Canada Border Services Agency, there are currently (April 16th 2018) 16 other government departments (OGDs) that are involved in the importation, in-transit movement and exportation of various commodities in and out of Canada. Watch this video to learn how other government departments facilitate the flow of your imported goods.
Many importers find it challenging to identify products subject to OGD requirements and access easily understandable information about those requirements. Should this sound familiar, please do not hesitate to contact our team of Import Specialists who are experienced in handling the import and export of commodities subject to OGD requirements. They can also offer consultation prior to import or export to determine whether your goods will require additional documentation or if specific considerations may be involved when clearing your goods at the border.
Pacific Customs Brokers regularly offers a range of seminars and webinars, to assist importers in becoming aware of their requirements when importing OGD regulated goods. Visit the Trade Compliance Education section of our website to see a current list of seminars and webinars being offered.
