Global Affairs Canada states in Notice to Exporters No. 217 that the Minister of Foreign Affairs has issued General Export Permit No. 47, which allows residents of Canada to export to the United States all goods in Group 9 of the Export Control List and certain firearms and ammunition referred to in items 2-1 and 2-3 of the Guide to Canada's Export Controls, without an individual permit application.
