Chamber Import Bonds Program
The Chamber Import Bonds Program assists Canadian businesses in obtaining the tools they need to import product into Canada. An import bond acts as a type of contract between CBSA, the importer and the surety company to ensure that duties, taxes and fees associated with the importation of goods into Canada will be paid.
The benefit of going through Chamber Import Bond Services is that your business will see the cost of the premiums upfront. Your business also gets support and guidance on how to apply for the bond and how to submit the bonds to CBSA.
