Frequently asked questions

What is the province of origin?

The province of origin is the province or territory in which the goods were grown, extracted or manufactured. This may not always coincide with the province where the goods were cleared by customs.

What is the province of clearance?

The province of clearance is the province or territory in which the goods were cleared by customs either for immediate consumption in Canada or for entry into a bonded customs warehouse. This may not always coincide with the province in which they are consumed.

What is the country of origin?

The country or origin is the country in which the goods were grown, extracted or manufactured.

What is the country of destination?

The country of destination is the country which is the last known destination of the goods at the time of export. If the shipper does not know the country of ultimate destination, the shipment is credited to the last country to which the shipper knows that the merchandise will be shipped in the same form as when exported. As a result, statistics tend to be over counted for shipments to transhipment countries such as Hong Kong and the Netherlands and under counted for other countries.
