Consultation on revisions to previously proposed amendments to the Valuation for Duty Regulations

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is looking for feedback on revisions to the proposed amendments to the Valuation for Duty Regulations.

The CBSA seeks to address industry concerns received during the Gazette Part I consultations that took place between May 27, 2023, and July 26, 2023, specially the concerns  that were documented in the What We Heard report. CBSA has expressed that they want to make sure that the final design and administration of the proposed amendments do not affect Canadian resident importers who currently declare the purchase price from foreign suppliers.

The key concerns raised during the 2023 Canada Gazette Part I consultations were:

  • unintended inclusion of domestic sales as a sale for export to Canada
  • misalignment with the Customs Valuation Agreement

Ideas and comments on the proposed revisions to the amendments should be emailed to ctpd/[email protected]no later than January 23, 2026.

The CBSA would like to hear from:

  • Canadian resident importers
  • Canadian subsidiaries of foreign parent companies
  • Any other interested stakeholders
