The CFIA is launching electronic export certificates for food, animal and plant commodities. Through the transition period (beginning in 2018 and until 2020), certificates can be signed with either ink or electronic signature and can be viewed securely online. Current and revised versions of the certificates (and shipping marks) will remain in circulation during the transition period. This will allow industry time to adjust to the new way of doing business and to minimize any disruption to trade.
In addition, all bilaterally negotiated certificates remain unchanged. All negotiated export requirements for public or plant/animal health requirements and associated attestations for bilaterally negotiated certificates remain in place.
The deadline for comments is September 25, 2018.
