April 3, 2017

This memorandum explains the process pursuant to section 60 of the Customs Act (the Act) for a request to the President of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) for a re-determination, a further re-determination of the origin, the tariff classification, the value for duty or marking in respect of goods or a request to the President of the CBSA for a review of an advance ruling. 

In this memorandum, the term “a Request” is used to refer to a request under section 60 of the Customs Act for a re-determination or further re-determination of origin, tariff classification, value for duty or marking, or a request for a review of an advance ruling by the President of the CBSA.

This memorandum supersedes Memorandum D11-6-7, Importers' Dispute Resolution Process for Origin, Tariff Classification, and Value for Duty of Imported Goods, dated October 9, 2008.

The policy guidance previously found in the cancelled Memorandum D11-4-17 NAFTA Origin Re-Determination Requests Filed by the Person Who Completed and Signed the Certificate of Origin has been incorporated into Appendix A of this memorandum.

Procedures related to filing a request for re-determination or further re-determination by letter have been added to this memorandum in Appendix E.

The special procedures to challenge a National Customs Rulings and other forms of CBSA policy using the Customs Act by way of a Dual Authority B2 have been removed. The CBSA will no longer be accepting requests using a dual authority on form B2 where one of those authorities is section 60 of the Act. Please consult Memorandum D11-11-1 for more on challenging a National Customs Rulings.

Effective April 1, 2017, requests identified in appendices AB and C are to be directed to a single address in Ottawa. See those appendices for specific details to make your request.
