CBSA clarifies TRQ import permit process for goods entered into customs bonded warehouses

CBSA states in Customs Notice 26-20 that goods subject to tariff rate quotas entered into a customs bonded warehouse must have a valid shipment-specific import permit issued by Global Affairs Canada to be accounted for at the "within access" rate of duty, and that the permit's validity period must cover the date the goods exit the warehouse. The notice says this is a clarification of existing application, not a change in policy, and applies to all goods subject to TRQs.
