The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has implemented interim phytosanitary requirements for in-transit shipments. These interim requirements are effective January 1, 2016 until the CFIA completes its comprehensive in-transit policy and program.
The interim protocol outlines requirements for in-transit shipments and the responsibilities of the CFIA, Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and the parties in care and control of a shipment.
The interim protocol will apply to all land transportation modes at all Canada – United States border crossings.
Read the interim requirements on the CFIA website.
If you have any questions about the interim protocol, please contact the CFIA at [email protected]
