Natural Resources Canada’s (NRCan) Explosives Regulatory Division (ERD) controls the type and quantity of explosives that may be imported into Canada, exported from Canada, and transported in transit through Canada. You need an Import, Export, or In Transit permit to import explosives into or export them from Canada, except for those under the direct control of the Department of National Defence or subject to personal exemptions. Import and Export permits are granted for explosives that have been authorized in Canada. Samples going to the Canadian Explosives Research Laboratory (CanmetCERL) for testing are exempt.
