Trade Events

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has published on its website a 2011 to 2012 10-Digit Concordance Table available at http://www.cbsa.gc.ca/trade-commerce/tariff-tarif/2011/concordance_11_12-eng.html.  

I.E.Canada has been advised that this concordance table incorporates the international changes to the Harmonized System (HS) at the World Customs Organization (WCO), as well as the changes arising from simplification initiatives by both the Department of Finance and Statistics Canada.  

CBSA will be publishing a notice shortly with further details.  The Agency is still aiming to publish the 2012 Customs Tariff by December 1, 2011.

Just a reminder, effective January 1, 2012, the fifth amendments to the Harmonized System Nomenclature will come into effect. Are you ready for the HS changes?

I.E.Canada is holding a seminar series across Canada that will highlight some of these amendments and also give specific examples of how the tariff will be modified both in Canada.
