The purpose of this notice is to advise Trade Chain Partners (TCPs) of changes to the IID. On April 13, 2021, the following changes will be made in the production environment:
- Fisheries and Oceans Canada – Country of Source data requirements:
It has been brought to the Canada Border Services Agency’s (CBSA’s) attention that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) are both utilizing SG118 to capture country of source data on Single Window (SW) IID entries. CFIA has very specific policy surrounding what constitutes the “country of origin” and “country of source”. When the DFO on-boarded to SW, SG118 was included in their data map to capture the “country of origin” and the “country of source” as it relates to their regulations. However, the usage of the country of source data element does not always align with CFIA’s regulations. This has resulted in CFIA issuing rejects when an IID is co-regulated between CFIA and DFO.
Upon review of DFO's data requirements, it was determined that each SW DFO program is already collecting the country in which the goods have been grown, harvested, manufactured, processed, produced and/or slaughtered in the various parties collected in SG119.NAD or SG143.NAD. As a result, the country of source data requirements will be removed from each of the following DFO Appendices:

- Global Affairs Canada – Shipment Specific and GIP LPCO exemptions:
There are some commodities that are regulated by Global Affairs Canada that are exempt from having to obtain/submit a shipment specific or General Import Permit (GIP). This exemption is dependent on the country of origin and relates to negotiated Free Trade Agreements and applies to certain HS codes that are regulated under GAC’s Beef and Veal and Agriculture Products programs. As a result, system changes have been made to SW validation rules to accommodate these exemptions.
For more information, refer to GAC’s Handbook of Export and Import Commodity Codes.
- Health Canada Donor Semen and OVA Program
The CBSA has been advised by Health Canada (HC) that amendments were made to their Safety of Sperm and Ova Regulations earlier in 2020. Currently, the Donor Semen Program in SW does not include any requirements for the importation of ova. As a result, the following changes have been made to appendix B6.5 of the SWI ECCRD:
a) Amend the title of appendix B6.5 to: Donor Semen and Ova Program
b) Amend the introductory paragraph for the program (section B6.5.1), last sentence to: These activities apply to all drugs and devices as defined by the Food and Drugs Act, including donor semen and ova for assisted conception.
c) Add Safety of Sperm and Ova Regulations and Assisted Human Reproduction Act to list of legislative references (section B6.5.1).
d) LPCO document type 5009 (formerly Semen Processor Declaration) will be renamed: Semen or Ova Establishment Attestation
e) New LPCO document type 5048 will be created for Establishment Notification Form (FRM-0446)
f) New LPCO document type 5049 will be created for Establishment Registration Number
g) LPCO document type 5008 (formerly Donor Semen Letter of Authorization (LOA)) will be renamed: Donor Semen or Ova Letter of Authorization (LOA)
h) Canadian Product Category code HC04 will be renamed: Donor Semen or Ova
The following changes have been applied to section B6.5.2:

Please note, while system changes have been made to accommodate the new ova regulations, the renaming of LPCO document types 5008/5009 and renaming of product category code HC04 will allow IID clients to continue processing Donor Semen regulated IIDs as they do today.
- Transport Canada – Vehicle Classification Code ‘TC1512’
Transport Canada (TC) advised CBSA that they require an edit to the name of vehicle classification code TC1512. “Restricted Use Motorcycle” has been changed to “Restricted Use Vehicle,” across all TC vehicle programs.
If there are any questions related to these changes, clients should contact the OGD Programs Unit: [email protected]
