Export Permits Regulations

Here is a brief overview of the Export Permits Regulations in 150-200 words:

The Export Permits Regulations were made under the Export and Import Permits Act, with the goal of regulating the exportation of certain goods from Canada. The regulations apply to residents of Canada who wish to export controlled goods or technology. Controlled goods include items listed in the Export Control List, as well as certain forest products.

Applicants must submit a completed application form, which includes information such as the country of destination, consignee details, and detailed descriptions of the goods or technology being exported. They must also provide documentation to establish that the export is consistent with its intended use. The regulations also require exporters to provide valid permits to customs officers at the time of exportation.

The regulations exclude certain softwood lumber products and goods referred to in specific items of the schedule to the List. Amendments to permits can be made, but only in writing before the permit's expiry date. These Regulations came into force on April 15, 1997, and were published by His Excellency the Governor General in Council.
