New Customs Controlled Area Regulations

(CBSA)

At the recent Border Commercial Consultative Committee (BCCC) meeting the Canada Border Services Agency committed to provide you with the attached documents.

As you may recall, the Agency is developing regulations for Customs Controlled Area (CCAs) with program implementation at Canada’s three largest airports in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal and eventually in other modes.

At present, the regulatory development is near finalisation. Once the CCA Regulations are pre-published in the Canada Gazette Part I, BCCC members will be notified that they may provide written comments during the 30-day public comment period.

Please find attached the flowing two documents for your information:

(1) Policy Discussion Paper on the proposed CCA Regulations (in English and French); and

(2) fact sheet in “Questions and Answers” format (in English and French).

At this time, I would like to thank you on behalf of the Agency for your continued interest and support for this initiative. Should you have any questions or comments concerning the CCA regulatory proposal, please do not hesitate to contact me.
