Advance Rulings and National Customs Rulings
View service inventory entry Visit service website Suggest a correction
Section 43.1 of the Customs Act allows members of the trading community to request a binding ruling from the CBSA on the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) Origin, Tariff Classification, or Marking of goods imported from a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) country in advance of the importation of goods. The CBSA also issues NCRs for valuation purposes, for non-FTA origin goods and marking of goods imported from non-NAFTA countries. These services provide the importing trade community with a measure of predictability and certainty as to how goods are to be accounted for with the CBSA.
