Departmental memoranda
Help for businesses, workers and travellers affected by Canada-United States (US) relations
Find federal support for businesses and workers. Includes information about importing and exporting, travelling between Canada and the US, buying Canadian products, and key contacts.
Departmental memoranda, also called D-memos, outline the legislation, regulations, policies and procedures that the agency uses to administer its customs and travel operations. They also provide CBSA partners and the public with guidelines and general information on its activities 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.
