How to navigate Canada’s Automatic Import Reference System
CFIA-AIRS is the automated import reference system of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).
The purpose of the AIRS is to provide accurate and timely information on import requirements. The application uses a question and answer approach to guide the user through a series of questions about the Harmonized System (HS) Codes, origin, destination, end use and miscellaneous qualifiers of the product they wish to import.
NOTE: The AIRS has been prepared for the convenience of reference only and has no official sanction. For all purposes of interpreting and applying the law, users should consult the Acts as passed by Parliamen
