Integrated Import Declaration (IID)

The Integrated Import Declaration (IID) is a part of the Canada Border Services Agency‘s (CBSA) “Single Window Initiative”. IID is intended to simplify the import process and streamline the decisions made by the CBSA and Participating Government Agencies (PGAs) who regulate imports into Canada. CBSA will share the data they receive with the applicable PGAs and their government programs.

IID serves as both post- and pre-arrival release option and can be sent to CBSA for processing up to 90 days prior to the arrival of the goods.

IID features an easy-to-use interface that allows fast preparation, submission and processing of trade declarations to the CBSA, 9 participating government agencies (PGAs) and 38 government programs. It supports release declaration (IID), B3 accounting (CADEX), payments management (ARL), direct updates from CBSA (RNS & Notices) and the Document Imaging Functionality (DIF). 

Update: CBSA is working in conjunction with Trade Chain Partners to replace the CADEX submission model with the new Customs Accounting Declaration (CAD), in a phased roll-out which will be completed by May 2024.

How to get started

How does it work?

1. Submit the IID to the CBSA.

2. CBSA will identify the regulating PGA for the commodity on the IID, validate the IID data fields against the mandatory, conditional and optional data of that regulating PGA and then share that information with the applicable PGA for their release decision.

3. Once a release decision is made by the PGA, CBSA will conduct their own risk assessment before the goods are released into Canada.

4. The release decision is shared with the Importer/Broker and the Carrier.
