Canada and European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA)

Attention Agents and Suppliers,

The Canada and European Union (EU) Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) will be implemented on September 21, 2017. Under CETA, customs duty on originating goods from the EU will be eliminated, provided an origin declaration is completed by the exporter to confirm proof of origin.

If the origin of the product(s) is the EU, Agents and Suppliers must submit your origin declaration to the BC Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB) in order to receive preferential tariff treatment by August 23, 2017.

The LDB’s pricing calculators have been updated to reflect this change. The pricing calculators can be found on the Pricing Information tab on our vendor website.

Please review and download the overview and declaration document below.
