The Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) received a notice from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) advising stakeholders that as of\u00a0March 15, 2021<\/a>, import transactions of food commodities\u00a0(meat, fish, dairy, eggs, processed eggs, processed fruits or vegetables, honey, maple and, fresh fruits or vegetables)\u00a0will automatically be rejected by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) when transmitted electronically, unless a valid\u00a0Safe Food for Canadians (SFC) licence<\/a>\u00a0is obtained by importers moving goods into the country.<\/p>\n

Importers must obtain their SFC licence before presenting their shipment at the border and will not be able to obtain an SFC licence at the border if needed. Shipments may be refused\/rejected entry into Canada by CFIA if importers have not met this requirement, potentially causing delays for trucks crossing the border.<\/p>\n

CTA is recommending that carriers that move food products that may fall under the SFC licence requirements are encouraged to reach out to their customers to ensure that they are in compliance prior to March 15.<\/p>\n

Members can also direct their customers to the\u00a0Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA)<\/a>\u00a0website for further information,\u00a0and\u00a0consult the CFIA\u2019s website for further details on\u00a0commercially importing food to Canada<\/a>.<\/p>\n
