Canada Border Services Agency updates 2020 customs compliance verification list

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) released its semi-annual list of trade compliance verification (audit) priorities on January 7. The list is designed to update the importing community on ongoing verification priorities and set the stage for new priorities for the upcoming calendar year. The CBSA continues to focus on tariff classification as a priority audit area, with the introduction of four new rounds to the list of tariff classification priorities.
