Export Control

Prior to exporting goods and technology from Canada, Canadians must determine whether the goods to be exported are subject to export restrictions or other requirements.

The restrictions apply in varying degrees depending on the nature of the product (“controlled goods” included on the Export Control List), the destination country (if it is included on the Area Control List) and its intended end use. Items may include goods incorporating cryptographic or encrypted data.

The Export and Import Permits Act authorizes the Minister of Foreign Affairs to issue to any resident of Canada a permit to export items included on the Export Control List or to a country included on the Area Control List.
