The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has launched a public consultation seeking feedback on proposed revisions to the directive D-96-07: Import requirements for screenings and grain and seed for cleaning.
While the majority of the requirements outlined in directive D-96-07 remain consistent with current import requirements, the CFIA is removing the prohibition for seed and grain to be cleaned in Canada when the material originates from outside North America and is imported under a Plant Protection Import Permit.
The proposed directive can be accessed on the WTO platform. The list of updates and superseded policies can be found on page 1 of the proposed directive. Trading partners and external stakeholders have also been informed via the WTO platform.
