Export Reporting
No Declaration Required
If goods are exempt from being reported by the exporter, the exporter is required to indicate to the Export Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) participant that No Declaration is Required (NDR).
Goods not subject to export declaration
If goods being exported are controlled by any Act of Parliament, they must be reported on an export declaration. The appropriate permit must also be presented.
Certain goods are not required to be reported on an export declaration. However, if at the time of exportation an officer suspects, on reasonable grounds, that the goods are being exported contrary to an Act of Parliament, the officer may request that the goods be reported in writing, by presenting Form B13A, Export Declaration.
The following goods do not have to be reported on an export declaration. They are listed in sections 6 and 7 of the Reporting of Exported Goods Regulations and are further explained in Memorandum D20-1-1, Export Reporting:
