What are the Canada Border Services Agencys responsibilities?
We, at the CBSA, are responsible for providing you with the assistance you need to properly fulfill your importing responsibilities. If you need advice or guidance on specific goods you are importing, or would like more information in general, please do not hesitate to contact your regional CBSA office. Each regional office has a client services unit that is available to answer your questions about Border Services. As well, each region has a SIMA liaison officer that can answer your SIMA related enquiries. We are also responsible for monitoring importations of goods subject to SIMA duties to ensure full compliance with the law. This includes ensuring that importers and their agents fulfill all of the responsibilities identified below.
