Your registration number will be the same 9 digits as your importers number, however, followed by RT. Registering for the Goods and Service Tax (GST)/Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) Most NRI s are required to register for GST/HST based on your projected sales to Canada and the nature of your product. Please go to CRA website, in English of French, and see Mandatory Registration for the CRA office responsible for your country. Should you not be required to register, please contact for more information on the process. Page: 8

9 Documents and terms GST/HST Surety Bond NRI s who are registered for the GST/HST are required to obtain a surety bond with CRA in accordance to subsection 240(6) of the Excise Tax Act. CRA will advise the client directly on the bond limit required. The bond is required by CBSA to ensure the Canadian government that any monies owing to them by the NRI are paid. You cannot obtain a GST number without a surety bond. Nacora Insurance Brokers Ltd, part of Kuehne + Nagel Ltd can provide Surety Bonds for all the KN Non Resident Importer clients. Companies requesting a bond of specific amount must complete a form and application. Canada Customs Invoice (CCI) An invoice in a prescribed form, to be completed by the importer, the exporter, or their agent. All data on the prescribed CCI is required for shipments valued over $2500. According to CBSA, it is not mandatory to prepare a CCI with every export provided that the commercial invoice is complete and contains all the necessary information. Importers may use a CCI, commercial invoice or both. Agreement to maintain record outside Canada It is a letter of undertaking allowing companies to maintain records outside of Canada. The fully completed forms must be ed or faxed for verification. The originals MUST be mailed to: Records Trade Services Division Canada Border Services Agency 1980 Matheson Boulevard East P.O.

11 Additional information Business Number The Business Number (BN) is the common identifier used in Canada. It allows businesses to simplify their dealings with each other as well as with all levels of the public sector. It is based on the idea of one business, one number. The major BN accounts registered by the CRA are: Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax (GST/HST); Payroll deductions; Import/export; and Corporate income tax. The BN consists of two parts the registration number and the account identifier. The entire number has 15 characters: Nine (9) digits to identify the business; and Two (2) letters and four (4) digits to identify each account a business may have. For example, your Business Number could look like this: Registration number Account identifier R P The nine digits are your Registration Number and they identify your business. Your registration number is unique and it will stay the same no matter how many or what types of CRA accounts you have. RC - Corporate Income Tax RM - Import/export RP - Payroll deductions RT - GST/HST The last four (4) digits identify the reference number; in this case, a second payroll deductions account. Note: You can register your new business for the four BN accounts at one office at the same time. Taxation Methods Since the NAFTA agreement came in force, there are only 4 forms of taxation in Canada for imported goods. They are as follows: Customs Duty Goods and Services Tax (GST) Excise Duty Special Imports Measures Act (SIMA) The most common forms of taxation are Duties and GST Page: 11

12 Additional information Form B3 B3 form is a detailed accounting report to the CRA of over 70 data elements, specific to each shipment transaction, such as; Importer name and address, Description of the goods, Value for duty, Direct shipment date, Tariff treatment, Country of origin of the goods, Tariff classification, Duty and tax rates, Duties owing. This form is completed by KN customs. Bill of Lading It is a document, issued to a shipper or carrier, that describes the goods to be shipped, acknowledges their receipt and states the terms of the contract for their carriage, to a named place for delivery to the consignee who is usually identified. A through bill of lading involves the use of at least two different modes of transport from road, rail, air, and sea. Canada Border Security Agency (CBSA) CBSA is the government department responsible for ensuring compliance with Canada s tax, trade and border legislation and regulations. They make sure the goods are met with all the other government departments requirements. They have the authority to inspect shipment to verify compliance or take samples to verify reporting and content. Commercial Invoice It is the basic document prepared by the vendor to collect his/her money and to assist in clearing the goods from customs at the destination. The commercial invoice doesn t have to be any prescribed format. Although all the following information must be included on the commercial invoice; Country of origin, exporter name and address, consignee name and address, description of the goods, net and gross weights, unit price, extended price, currency of settlement, terms of delivery, terms of payment, date, reference numbers, import licenses and freight or other charges included/excluded. Duty The duty rate is dictated by the HS code and tariff treatment and is applied to the Value for Duty. The duty rate may be reduced or eliminated if the country of origin and export is granted a preferential tariff treatment or has a free trade agreement with Canada. (such as NAFTA) Please go to the CBSA website publications page for the six methods of valuation in order of precedent. Excise Duty Excise duties are charged on spirits, beer, and tobacco products. When they are imported into Canada, duty is payable by the importer at the time the goods are imported. Goods and Services Tax GST is a tax that applies on most taxable supplies, except the zero rated sales (such as basic groceries, agricultural products, prescription drugs and others). The current GST rate is 5%. Page: 12

13 Additional information Harmonized Sales Tax Many provinces have harmonized their provincial sales tax with GST to create the harmonized sales tax (HST). HST applies to the same base of goods and services as GST. Import Permits The Export and Import Controls Bureau (EICB) is responsible for administering the Export Import Permit Act (EIPA). The EIPA delegates to the Minister of International Trade Canada wide discretionary powers to control the flow of goods contained in specified lists provided for under the Act. Packing List It is a detailed list of contents of the shipment, which includes quantities, items, model numbers, dimensions and net & gross weights. Refunds An importer can receive a refund or drawback on full or partial duties paid on exported or destroyed goods, defective goods, short shipments, etc. Special Imports Measures Act (SIMA) The CBSA is responsible for the administration of the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA), which helps to protect Canadian industry from injury caused by the dumping and subsidizing of imported goods by imposing dumping and countervailing duties. As government website links change and expire from time to time, please for updated links should you encounter this problem. Page: 13
