Canadian Declaration Card Form PDF Details

The Canadian Declaration Card form, labeled "PROTECTED B when completed," is a comprehensive document for residents returning to Canada to declare overseas purchases and acquisitions. It serves as the official interface between the traveler and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), facilitating the lawful entry of goods into the country.

The declaration card is divided into sections covering every aspect of the arrival process:

• Program Membership: For travelers enrolled in NEXUS, FAST, CDRP, or CANPASS-AIR programs, providing identification numbers to Canada Border Services.
• Personal Details: Name, contact details, and residency addresses so CBSA can communicate with and bill the traveler for applicable duties and taxes.
• Goods Declaration: Itemize all goods acquired abroad, including personal purchases, gifts, alcohol, and tobacco products, following the guidelines of the Customs Act.
• Value Declaration: Declare the value of goods in U.S. or Canadian dollars, using the Tariff Guide for accurate categorization.
• Credit Card Authorization: Authorize payment for duties and taxes owed at the Canada border.
• Certification: Sign and certify the truthfulness of all provided details under the Customs Act and the Privacy Act.

Goods such as cigars or loose tobacco not marked "Canada Duty Paid - Droit Acquitté" are subject to specific restrictions. All declarations are governed by the legal framework of the Customs Act, and personal details are protected under the Privacy Act of Canada.
