2009-02-13:
- This “In Brief” page has been revised to denote changes made as a result of the Government of Canada’s Paperwork Burden Reduction Initiative. This page replaces the “In Brief” page of Memorandum D4-1-4 dated August 8, 2008.
- In accordance with the above, the following changes were made:
- Paragraphs 11(f), 29, and 68(c), Letters of Undertaking associated with cost recovery (Memorandum D4-1-4, dated July 11, 1997) were deleted as a cost recovery option is not applicable in the Sufferance Warehouse Program.
- Paragraph 15(b), Licensing of carriers to operate in specific areas such as on airport property (Memorandum D4-1-4, dated July 11, 1997) was deleted as the CBSA does not exercise the authority for this requirement.
