Introduction

The issuance of export permits under the Export and Import Permits Act (EIPA)  is administered by the Trade and Export Controls Bureau of  Global Affairs Canada. To assist exporters, the Trade and Export Controls Bureau publishes on its website important information, such as the Export Controls Handbook, Export Controls Online (EXCOL), Notices to Exporters, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), Commodity Codes, and the contact information for the divisions in the Trade and Expport Controls Bureau administering export controls for specific items.

For information on how to apply for an export permit and additional information on export controls, please refer to our website: Export and Import Controls.

For detailed information on export controls, please refer to the Export Controls Handbook:

The main reference tool to assist exporters with questions about the administration of Canada's export controls (except export of logs).  The handbook includes how to obtain the necessary permits for the export or transfer of controlled items and how to comply with the requirements of the Export and Import Permits Act and its related regulations.

To enquire on the status of an export permit application:

Recognized EXCOL users can check the status of an export permit application on-line. Non-recognized users can obtain, from the Export and Import Controls website, the contact information for the appropriate division responsible for administering the specific control and request a status by providing their export permit application identification (ref ID) number.

Export Control List

The Regulation establishing Canada’s Export Control List (ECL) can be found at the Department of Justice website.

Regulatory amendments to the ECL that occur after the publication date of this Guide are published in the Canada Gazette, are available on our the Export and Import Controls website and, upon coming into force, are available on the Department of Justice website.  It is the individual’s responsibility to conduct the due diligence required to confirm whether any intervening regulatory changes are applicable to their export or transfer.

This Guide, at time of publication, encompasses the list of items enumerated on the ECL that are controlled for export in accordance with section 3 of the (EIPA). The EIPA can be found at the Department of Justice website.

The Guide includes military, dual-use, and strategic goods and technology and all United States-origin goods and technology that are controlled pursuant to Canada’s commitments made in multilateral export control regimes, bilateral agreements, as well as certain unilateral controls.

The Guide also includes forest products (logs, softwood lumber) agricultural and food products (peanut butter, sugar and sugar-containing products, processed foods, dogs and cat food) apparel goods and vehicles that are controlled for economic reasons or further to Canada’s international trade agreements.

Unless otherwise specified, the export controls for military, dual-use and strategic items contained in this Guide apply to all destinations except the United States.

The most recent versions of each multilateral export control regime’s control lists included in the ECL are:

Group 1 - Dual-Use List

Note 1:

Terms in "quotations" are defined terms. Refer to 'Definitions of Terms used in these Lists' annexed to this List, at the end of Group 2. References to the "Dual-Use List" and "Munitions Lists" within Groups 1 and 2 refer to the "Group 1 - Dual-Use List" and the "Group 2 - Munitions List" respectively.

Note 2:

In some instances chemicals are listed by name and CAS number. The list applies to chemicals of the same structural formula (including hydrates) regardless of name or CAS number. CAS numbers are shown to assist in identifying a particular chemical or mixture, irrespective of nomenclature. CAS numbers cannot be used as unique identifiers because some forms of the listed chemical have different CAS numbers and mixtures containing a listed chemical may also have different CAS numbers.

General Technology Note:

The export of "technology" which is "required" for the "development", "production" or "use" of items controlled in the Dual-Use List is controlled according to the provisions in each Category. This "technology" remains under control even when applicable to any uncontrolled item.

Controls do not apply to that "technology" which is the minimum necessary for the installation, operation, maintenance (checking) or repair of those items which are not controlled or whose export has been authorised.

Note:

This does not release such "technology" controlled in entries 1-1.E.2.e. and 1-1.E.2.f . and 1-8.E.2.a. and 1-8.E.2.b.

Controls do not apply to "technology" in the "public domain", to "basic scientific research" or to the minimum necessary information for patent applications.

Technical Note on 'Adjusted Peak Performance' ('APP')

'APP' is an adjusted peak rate at which "digital computers" perform 64-bit or larger floating point additions and multiplications.

Abbreviations used in this Technical Note
nnumber of processors in the "digital computer"
iprocessor number (i,...n)
tiprocessor cycle time (ti = 1/Fi)
Fiprocessor frequency
Ripeak floating point calculating rate
Wiarchitecture adjustment factor

'APP' is expressed in Weighted TeraFLOPS (WT), in units of 1012 adjusted floating point operations per second.

Outline of 'APP' Calculation Method

Note 1: For processors that perform compound operations in a cycle, such as addition and multiplication, each operation is counted.

Note 2: For a pipelined processor the effective calculating rate R is the faster of the pipelined rate, once the pipeline is full, or the non-pipelined rate.

Note 3: The calculating rate R of each contributing processor is to be calculated at its maximum value theoretically possible before the 'APP' of the combination is derived. Simultaneous operations are assumed to exist when the computer manufacturer claims concurrent, parallel, or simultaneous operation or execution in a manual or brochure for the computer.

Note 4: Do not include processors that are limited to input/output and peripheral functions (e.g., disk drive, communication and video display) when calculating 'APP'.

Note 5: 'APP' values are not to be calculated for processor combinations (inter)connected by "Local Area Networks", Wide Area Networks, I/O shared connections/devices, I/O controllers and any communication interconnection implemented by "software".

Note 6: 'APP' values must be calculated for processor combinations containing processors specially designed to enhance performance by aggregation, operating simultaneously and sharing memory;

Technical Notes:
1. Aggregate all processors and accelerators operating simultaneously and located on the same die.

2. Processor combinations share memory when any processor is capable of accessing any memory location in the system through the hardware transmission of cache lines or memory words, without the involvement of any software mechanism, which may be achieved using “electronic assemblies” specified in 1-4.A.3.c.

Note 7: A 'vector processor' is defined as a processor with built-in instructions that perform multiple calculations on floating-point vectors (one-dimensional arrays of 64-bit or larger numbers) simultaneously, having at least 2 vector functional units and at least 8 vector registers of at least 64 elements each.
