Trade Compliance Verifications - January 2015
Canada Border Services Agency Jan 20, 2015
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is committed to publicly releasing a semi-annual list of all of its active compliance verification priorities, in the interest of transparency and the promotion of self-compliance.
The CBSA manages compliance with the Tariff Classification, Tariff Treatment, Valuation, and Origin programs using the following two post-release verification processes:
- Random Verifications
- Targeted Priorities
1. Random Verifications
Random verifications are designed to measure compliance rates and revenue loss and the results may be used for many purposes, including:
- Risk assessment;
- Establishing client service activities;
- Revenue assessment; and
- Promoting voluntary compliance.
2. Targeted Priorities
Targeted priorities are determined through a risk-based, evergreen process, meaning that new targets are added throughout the fiscal year. Targeted priorities may also be carried over from previous years.
A summary of the current targeted priorities can be found below or by visiting this CBSA website: Trade Compliance Verifications – January 2015
