New Policy for Used Vehicle Shipments from Canadian Load Ports

This document is a guide detailing the new policy for used vehicle shipments from Canadian load ports, effective for shipments booked after May 22, 2023. It outlines the requirements that must be met to prevent the seizure of used vehicle export shipments by the Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA). The policy mandates that a Canadian entity must act as the forwarder or shipper, and specific documentation must be provided at the time of booking. This includes a signed Compliance Declaration and Letter of Undertaking, a copy of the vehicle title, seller's driver license if applicable, a Bill of Sale with necessary details, and customs submissions to CBSA. The guide also specifies that documents must be submitted at least seven days prior to the cut-off to avoid cancellations. Additionally, it states that diversion or COD requests will no longer be accepted for shipments booked after May 15, 2023, and emphasizes compliance with local regulations regarding the Canadian business entity requirement.
