With the implementation of the Canada Border Services Agency’s Single Window Initiative to the commodities regulated by the Transportation Division of Environment and Climate Change Canada, we invite you to disseminate the attached notice and associated files to your members. The purpose of this notice is to raise awareness amongst customs brokers and their clients (importers of off-road diesel engines) of the upcoming Transition Engine Annual Report (TEAR) deadline of March 31, 2021 under the Off-Road Compression-Ignition Engine Emission Regulations (Regulations).
The requirement to submit a TEAR is applicable to individuals and companies who elected to apply the transition engine provisions set out in section 13 of the Regulations in 2020 (i.e. imported and/or manufactured transition engines in 2020). The transition engine provisions allow, for certain periods of time, the import and manufacture of engines meeting either of the previous-tier standards (e.g. interim Tier 4 standards) if they are installed in or on a machine before the end of the set time frames. For more information on what a transition engine is, you may refer to the fact sheet attached to this email.
