We assist private sector clients in the interpretation and application of Canada’s Export Control List.  The Export Control List identifies specific goods and technologies that are controlled for the purposes of export from Canada. Canada also uses the Export Control List to enforce tariff rate quotas (TRQs) that are imposed by bilateral and multilateral trade agreements.

Our professionals assist both Canadian and international businesses, financial institutions and individuals with internal investigations when red flags appear, and we also provide advice on compliance in these areas. We have significant experience in the design and implementation of compliance programs, including policies, procedures, employee training and internal control mechanisms.

When our internal investigations reveal compliance breaches, we work closely with our clients in making voluntary disclosures and in engaging with investigations conducted by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Global Affairs Canada.

We also provide assistance with applications for the necessary export permits.
