The E639 form, known as the Agency Agreement – Entente de Représentation, serves a critical function in the administrative landscape of international trade and customs operations within Canada. Its primary purpose is to grant authorization to an agent for conducting transactions with the Canada Border Services Agency on behalf of an individual or organization. This encompasses a variety of operations ranging from the accounting and payment of duties on imported goods, as outlined under section 32 of the CUSTOMS ACT, to processing refunds, adjustments, and accessing import/export account information. Notably, the form stipulates that only a licensed customs broker can be designated to manage duties and taxes for imported goods, ensuring a level of professionalism and accountability in these financial transactions. Furthermore, the E639 form enables principals to appoint sub-agents, expanding the scope of representation. Through the specifications laid out in this agreement, including the identification of the agent and principal, legality is afforded to the agent’s actions, directly impacting the principal’s legal standing. However, it remains clear that the ultimate responsibility for any transactions lies with the principal. This agreement can be established for an indefinite period or a specific timeframe, enhancing its adaptability to various business needs. The completion of the form requires details such as names, addresses, and business numbers of both the agent and the principal, alongside the authorized officer's signature, making it a binding document of significant importance in the realm of customs and import/export activities.
