Border operations (closed)

Organized warehouse with many boxes and shelves.


As part of the Supply Chain Regulatory Review, we are seeking your input on regulatory challenges related to Canada’s border operations.

Context

Modern, efficient, and resilient border processes are critical to a well-functioning transportation and trade system and for securing the supply of goods necessary for long-term economic sustainability of industry and for the day-to-day life of Canadians.

Events that place pressures on the supply chain, and major supply-and-demand shifts, create a continuous and rapidly evolving border environment. Processes that were standardized in the past are not necessarily reflective of how goods move into and through Canada in the 21st century, underscoring the importance of ensuring regulatory frameworks for warehousing models and cost recovery frameworks are fit for purpose. A broad range of perspectives is needed to develop an evidence-based and forward-looking regulatory regime.

Share your thoughts

  1. Share your input in the forums under the 'Questions and discussions' tab.
  2. Submit your written feedback as a PDF or Word document using the ‘Document submissions’ tab.

The questions reflect outcomes of previous engagement activities and offer the opportunity to identify specific regulatory issues not already uncovered. You are encouraged to provide examples where possible, including on economic impacts.

Any feedback that falls outside of these questions can be submitted on the Additional supply chain regulatory comments page.

If so, please describe them.

    Are changes needed to modernize the regulatory frameworks pertaining to special services that are offered in relation to the cross-border movement of goods? 

    Note: Special services are generally performed by the government at the request of a person in charge of imported goods or goods destined for export that may be considered extraordinary (for example, services provided outside posted hours of operation, course of duties or geographic areas serviced).
