Canada requires MID and IOR data on export permits for U.S. sugar-containing product TRQs

Global Affairs Canada states that, starting February 16, 2025, applicants for export permits for products exported to the United States under the WTO and CUSMA Sugar-Containing Product Tariff Rate Quotas must provide Manufacturer (MID) and Importer of Record (IOR) information. For shipments with multiple MIDs, applicants must designate the primary MID, the manufacturer who performed the most work, and it must match the MID on the import documents submitted to CBP. The IOR must be entered as an IRS number (NN-NNNNNNNXX), a CBP assigned number (NNNNNN-NNNNN) or a Social Security Number (NNN-NN-NNNN).
