How do I renew an expired (or soon to expire) Import Permit?
Prior to issuing a new Import Permit, the Biologicals Program must undertake a new assessment of the quarantine risks associated with the products. This means that a new application form must be submitted to the Biologicals Program. The new application form should state that the application is a renewal of a previous Import Permit and should provide reference to the old Import Permit number. However all relevant product information (ingredients, manufacturing processes, etc.) must accompany the application. Please remember to allow at least 10 working days (2 weeks) when submitting your application to ensure that the new Import Permit is ready before the old one expires.
