Certainly. Essentially the Canada Border Services Agency is responsible for reviewing declarations that are made with respect to goods that are exported from the country to ensure that they're in compliance with the various pieces of legislation, most notably in terms of the Export and Import Permits Act, the United Nations Act, the Special Economic Measures Act, as well as goods on the area control list.
Within that framework, Canada Border Services Agency officers will screen the exports to determine and ensure that any that look like they pose a potential risk to non-compliance are referred over to a Border Services officer in the field, who will an conduct an examination to determine whether or not the goods actually line up with what the export declaration says. In addition, they'll determine whether or not those goods are subject to any types of permits. If they believe the goods are actually subject to permits, they'll ask the exporter of record to provide any additional documentary evidence to ensure that the goods are actually going to where they say they're going, that they're the goods they and the origin certificates say they are, and a number of different types of items.
They then refer that to Global Affairs Canada, which is responsible for the issuance of those permits. Global Affairs Canada will determine whether or not it issues that permit and validate whether or not the permit is the right permit for that. If it's not, then the Canada Border Services Agency will take appropriate action.
