What Canada Export and Import Permits Act (EIPA): Export Control List, Import Control List, Area Control List, Permits, and Prohibition on Unauthorized Export requires
The Canada Export and Import Permits Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. E-19, commonly cited as EIPA, is the principal Canadian statute governing the control of exports and imports of designated goods and technology. Section 3 authorises the Governor in Council to establish an Export Control List for purposes including ensuring that arms and strategic goods are not made available to destinations where their use would be detrimental to the security of Canada, supporting domestic processing of certain natural resources, maintaining supply adequacy, implementing intergovernmental arrangements or commitments, and collecting information relating to trade investigations. Section 5 authorises an Import Control List for purposes including ensuring supply adequacy, supporting agricultural programs, restricting the importation of arms, implementing dairy and agricultural policies, fulfilling intergovernmental commitments, and preventing circumvention of textile agreements. Section 6 authorises the Governor in Council to revoke, amend, vary or re-establish any Area Control List, Automatic Firearms Country Control List, Brokering Control List, Export Control List or Import Control List. Section 7 authorises the Minister to issue export permits to residents of Canada for controlled goods and technology, subject to specified quantities, qualities, recipients and conditions, and general permits applicable to all residents. Section 8 authorises issuance of import permits to residents of Canada for controlled goods, in specified quantities and under defined terms. Section 11 provides that holding a permit does not exempt the holder from obtaining other required licences or paying applicable taxes and duties under other laws. Section 13 sets out the central prohibition: no person shall export or transfer, or attempt to export or transfer, any goods or technology included in an Export Control List except under the authority of and in accordance with an export permit. EIPA is the controlling instrument for Canadian export and import controls under trade compliance law.
