Tariff Notice - TN-44

(CBSA)

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) wishes to advise you of changes to the 2009 Departmental Consolidation of the Customs Tariff that will be released as the T2009-6 Amending package.

That package will reflect changes pursuant to Bill C-24, An Act to implement the Free Trade Agreement between Canada and the Republic of Peru, the Agreement on the Environment between Canada and the Republic of Peru and the Agreement on Labour Cooperation between Canada and the Republic of Peru. These changes are effective August 1, 2009 and will be reflected in the Customs Commercial System (CCS) on that date. Pursuant to this Free Trade Agreement, a new Tariff Treatment will be created for Peru (PT); Code 25 will apply. The numbering or description of certain current tariff items are impacted by this Free Trade Agreement.

The classification and tariff code files will be available the week of July 27, 2009. Given that this will be a large update, the classification and tariff code flags have been turned off until this update has been done. Please note a new Tariff Treatment is being added to most classification numbers, and as such, the update will be larger than the year end files. Due to the size of the files, they will not be downloaded into your system. You will be able to access the files in CADEX format on the CBSA website.
