Departmental memoranda
Departmental memoranda, also called D-memos, outline the legislation, regulations, policies and procedures that the agency uses to administer customs and travel programs. They also provide CBSA partners and the public with guidelines and general information on programs that support the free flow of legitimate trade and travel.
The CBSA reviews and updates D-memos periodically to reflect changes to policy, procedures and legislation.
