The Harper Government Cuts Red Tape for the Duty Free Shop industry
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, CANADA -- (Marketwired) -- 12/11/14 -- Canada Border Services Agency
The Honourable Steven Blaney, Canada''s Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, today announced changes to the Duty Free Shop Regulations that will streamline industry requirements, as well as reduce costs and the administrative burden on both the duty free shop industry and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).
Processes will be streamlined by eliminating outdated requirements. The changes also allow the CBSA to better focus its resources on its core mandate of safety, security and the facilitation of legitimate trade and travel. The CBSA will continue to monitor compliance to ensure that duty-free products are sold for immediate export only and do not enter into the Canadian marketplace. These changes follow extensive consultations with external stakeholders.

"Changes to the Duty Free Shop Regulations will allow the duty free sector to continue to keep pace with today''s retail realities. They will also permit the CBSA to better focus its resources on safety, security and the facilitation of legitimate trade and travel. For the Canadian taxpayer, there is no requirement to impose strict regulations on duty free shops given their long-standing record of compliance."
The Honourable Steven Blaney, Canada''s Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness
"The Frontier Duty Free Association (FDFA) - which represents land border duty free shops across Canada -- is very pleased that the government has completed its Strategic Review of our sector and will now implement related changes designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of store operations, to the benefit of government and duty free licensees. From the perspective of duty free licensees, completion of the review will enable FDFA Members to make long term investments under a secure legal and regulatory framework, in response to intense current market challenges."
