Amendment of the Export Control List
On June 20, 2017, the Government of Canada finalized the regulatory process to amend the Export Control List. This amendment serves to add controls, clarify controls and remove controls over specific items as agreed upon in the various multilateral export control regimes.
The current December 2013 version of “A Guide to Canada’s Export Controls” remains in effect until August 10, 2017. On August 11, 2017, the December 2015 version of “A Guide to Canada’s Export Controls List” (Guide) will formally come into effect. The December 2015 version of the Guide is now available on the Export Controls Division website.
The new version of the Guide incorporates Canadian commitments and obligations to the various multilateral export control regimes up to December 31, 2015. A table identifying the date of Canadian commitments to each regime appears below.
