Updated list of imported goods targeted for potential audits

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) released an updated list of 16 imported goods that will be targeted for potential audits.

The CBSA’s January 2024 updated list of audit priorities now includes the origin of bedding and drapery imported from the United States under preferential treatment, and the classification of spent fowl and bags.
