The purpose of this notice is to inform you that on the morning of June 30, 2021, the organic import and admissibility requirements for grain products from chapter 10 for all the remaining end-uses were incorporated into AIRS, in accordance with clause 357(3) of Part 13 of the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations.
It is the responsibility of the importer to familiarize themselves with the new codes and end-uses in AIRS and to comply with the import requirements.
The importer/broker must confirm the possession of the certificate at the time of import in the Integrated Import Declaration (IID).
During the year 2022, importers of organic commodities for which the import requirements are included in AIRS will be required to submit a digital copy of the organic product certificate when declaring organic products online using the IID.
If you have any questions, please contact the Canada Organic Regime team at OPR-RPB@inspection.gc.ca
