REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT
(This statement is not part of the Order.)
Issue and objectives
Canada is a member of the World Customs Organization (WCO) which is responsible for the Harmonized System (HS) used as the basis for the tariff legislation of WCO signatories. The HS is reviewed periodically and results are subsequently implemented in Canada’s Customs Tariff. The last HS review was implemented on January 1, 2007, and since then, some classification discrepancies have been brought to the Government’s attention and need to be addressed in the Customs Tariff. Other technical amendments to the description of certain provisions in the Customs Tariff are also required as a result of comments received from the Standing Joint Committee for the Scrutiny of Regulations (SJCSR).
Description and rationale
The Order Amending the Schedule to the Customs Tariff, 2011-2 implements a number of changes in classification that have occurred since the 2007 Harmonized System review changes were implemented. This Order also amends some supplementary notes to reflect changes to classification and tariff item numbering and addresses comments received from the SJCSR with respect to the French version of certain provisions in the Customs Tariff.
These changes are technical in nature and do not involve any changes in tariff policy. They are revenue neutral and have no effect on the rate of duty applicable to goods imported into Canada.
There are no practical alternatives to proceeding with these amendments. In the circumstances, an order made pursuant to section 14 of the Customs Tariff is the appropriate and timely method to make these technical amendments.
Consultation
This Order makes technical changes to correct discrepancies identified by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and the SJCSR. Therefore, no other consultations were necessary.
Implementation, enforcement and service standards
The Canada Border Services Agency is responsible for the administration of and compliance with customs and tariff legislation and regulations. In the course of its administration of these tariff changes, the Agency will inform the importing community.
