Free and Secure Trade

Government of Canada - Canada Border Services Agency

Applies to: All of Canada

In business, time is money. By having your business confirmed as a low-risk business, you benefit from faster border crossings.

All program participants are required to first undergo a risk assessment.
Eligible goods of approved companies which are transported by approved carriers using registered drivers are cleared into Canada or the United States with greater speed.
Trade data declarations and verifications are done later, away from the border.
Drivers can use dedicated lanes established at major border crossings for faster and more efficient border clearance.
