Courier Low Value Shipment Program Review

(CIFFA e-Bulletin)

Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has undertaken a Courier Low Value Shipment (LVS) Program Review. The Review team will take a comprehensive approach, consulting not only internally within the CBSA but also widely within the industry and with other government departments and stakeholders.

The purpose of the Courier LVS Program Review is to re-examine and re-evaluate the program in light of the current environment with the objectives of identifying present and future model flows; best industry practices both nationally and internationally; co-operative risk management measures; and opportunities for automation and the streamlining of processes. The review team will identify short, medium, and long-term goals for process improvement.

Over 26 million shipments are processed each year through the LVS Program.
