Elimination
of Textiles and Clothing Permits Requirements
Under
the Export and Import Permits Act
International
Trade Canada
This
is to inform importers, brokers and other interested
parties of amendments to the Import Control
List established pursuant to the Export and
Imports Permits Act, affecting imports of textiles
and clothing into Canada.
As
a result of these amendments, effective April 1,
2005, only those clothing and textile products
that are eligible for a tariff preference level
(TPL) benefit established under the NAFTA, (US/Mexico)
CCFTA, (Chile) or CCRFTA (Costa Rica) will be subject
to import permit requirements. Other than for TPL
imports, import permits for clothing and textiles
issued pursuant to the Export and Import Permits
Act will no longer be required.
