Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has established an outreach program to raise awareness of the Single Window Initiative (SWI) led by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) in order to promote its use by the importing community that are subject to ECCC’s vehicle, engine and vessel emission regulations under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999:
Attached letter in English and French provides details on the Canada Border Services Agency Single Window Initiative (SWI).
ECCC’s vehicle, engine and vessel emission regulations establish performance based emission standards that generally align with those of United States’ Environmental Protection Agency. They apply to all companies in the business of manufacturing, distributing or importing (new or used) prescribed classes of vehicles, engines or vessels for sale, and to all persons who import them for their own use. These Canadian regulations require importers to submit importation declarations to ECCC. The implementation of the SWI will now enable importers to satisfy ECCC’s requirements to file an importation declaration by integrating the declaration with other data submissions required by CBSA and other government programs, through a single electronic portal utilizing the Integrated Import Declaration (IID).
