New Canadian Export Control Handbook Should Be Carefully Reviewed

(Mondaq – John W. Boscariol, McCarthy Tétrault)

Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada (FAITC) has just amended its Guide to Canada’s Export Controls (June 2006) by removing the Introduction section which contained administrative information on the export permit process. There has been no change to items covered under the Export Control List, so the Guide remains dated June 2006.

Apparently as a replacement for the old Guide’s Introduction, FAITC has separately published the Export Controls Handbook (dated February 2009). It’s worth a few minutes of your time to carefully review it. Read more here.
