1. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) assists Health Canada with the administration of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and its regulations (which include Part G and Part J of the Food and Drug Regulations). This memorandum outlines the pertinent regulatory requirements and each organization’s roles and responsibilities associated with the import and export of controlled substances and precursors (including transit and transhipment) regulated under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
2. This memorandum replaces D19-9-2, Regulations of Narcotics and Controlled and Restricted Drugs (Narcotic Control Act, Food and Drugs Act) dated July 26, 1993.
3. This memorandum does not include the policy and procedures related to the importation and exportation of drugs regulated under the Food and Drugs Act and its regulations (please refer to Memorandum D19-9-1); however, this memorandum replaces the portions of Memorandum D19-9-1 that pertain to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
4.  Should there be inconsistencies or conflicts between the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act or the regulations made under it and the Food and Drug Act or the regulations made under it, Section 58 of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act stipulates that the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and its’ regulations should prevail.
