CFIA Seminar - Importing Into Canada

Pacific Customs Brokers is offering the following session related to CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) regulated goods. By attending this seminar, you will gain a better understanding of how CFIA and Canada Customs interact. The knowledge you will acquire at this seminar will expedite your shipments rather than trigger costly delays. This session will be of interest to Commercial/Professional Importers, Business Owners, Operation Managers, Carriers, Controllers, Purchasers, Warehouse Managers, Freight Coordinators, Shippers and Receivers. This is a great opportunity for businesses with newly hired logistics staff as a cost effective way for employees to receive training and/or refresh their awareness of cross-border trade. If you are importing regulated goods on both sides of the border, we offer a full day seminar covering both CFIA and FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration).
