Explosives
| PGA Term | Rationale | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Permit Type | Used to differentiate different business rules to be applied for three different permit types (Annual, Single Use and Single Use Tour, Event or International Competition); see latest ECCRD document. This is a coded identifier to determine the type of the PGA document (LPCO) being attached to this llD. SWI views the provision of this element as the same as an importer informing their broker (or the CBSA) that a given certificate is an Explosives Import Permit in their release package, and not a CITES certificate, which is usually done by fax or paper package today. We would also expect this coding to be performed by an automatic mapping performed by the broker and not to require any additional input from the importer beyond knowing what their LPCO is. | An import permit issued by NRCan |
| Permit Number | This is currently shown on paper permits that must be presented at the border. The IID process can replace paper permits. This field is necessary to identify the Import Permit being used to bring the explosives products into Canada. Any explosives products being imported must be listed on the Explosives Import Permit. The permit number is present on an Explosives Import Permit that is presented as a PGA document in the release package today in paper. The SWI team sees this element as replacing the information presented in paper today and not an additional element. | An import permit issued by NRCan |
| Permit Holder Name | This is currently shown on paper permits that must be presented at the border. The IID process can replace paper permits. This field helps ensure that the correct permit is provided by validating this field with the permit holder name in the system. The permit Holder Name is present on an Explosives Import Permit that is presented as a PGA document in the release package today in paper. The SWI team sees this element as replacing the information presented in paper today and not an additional element. | An import permit issued by NRCan |
| Authorized Product Identifier | The Authorized Product Identifier assigned by NRCan to the product may be provided here to simplify the reporting process. If this field is not provided, SG119.NAD must be populated with the “Person who obtained product authorization” and SG117.IMD must contain the “Authorized Product Name”. The Authorized Product Identifier provided in this field must be on the list of authorized products listed on the import permit referenced by this commodity line. For Annual Permits and Single Use Explosives Permits Tour, Event or International competition , the Product ID (i.e. the authorized product identifier) is optional for certain UNDG numbers. The list of UNDG numbers for which product ID is optional can be found at: http://www.nrcan.gc.ca/explosives/importation/16793 |
An import permit issued by NRCan |
| Commodity Type | A product, in an IID with Explosives Import Permit at Declaration level, if not regulated by the Explosives Program can be identified by providing the following code: “Not regulated by Explosives Program”. If this field is omitted, all products in an IID with Explosives Import Permit specified at Declaration level will be assumed to be regulated by Explosives program. | TCP is to make such declaration, if applicable, for the line-level item. |
| UNDG | This is currently shown on paper permits that must be presented at the border. The IID process can replace paper permits. | TCP: shipping documents |
| Commodity Count | This is currently shown on paper permits that must be presented at the border. The IID process can replace paper permits. | TCP: shipping documents |
| Quantity Unit Count / Unit of Measure | This is currently shown on paper permits that must be presented at the border. The IID process can replace paper permits. | TCP: shipping documents |
| Country of Origin | This field in Optional and not Mandatory. | TCP: purchase order, shipping documents, etc. |
Rough Diamonds
| PGA Term | Rationale | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Certificate Type | The presence of a KP certificate accompanying a rough diamond shipment is required to meet Rough Diamond program requirements. Having confirmation on the presence or absence of this certificate facilitates the decision-making on clearing the shipment. | KP certificate is the source of the data |
| Certificate Number | The certificate number appears on the certificate that must accompany the rough diamond shipment in order to clear Customs. The IID process can NOT replace the original KP paper certificate. | KP certificate is the source of the data |
| Issue Date | The presence of a KP certificate accompanying a rough diamond shipment is required to meet Rough Diamond program requirements. Knowing the issue date of the KP certificate is crucial to confirm that the certificate is valid or not, which facilitates the decision-making on clearing the shipment. | KP certificate is the source of the data |
| Expiry Date | The presence of a KP certificate accompanying a rough diamond shipment is required to meet Rough Diamond program requirements. Knowing the issue date of the KP certificate is crucial to confirm that the certificate is valid or not, which facilitates the decision-making on clearing the shipment. | KP certificate is the source of the data |
| Scanned KPC | The presence of a valid KP certificate accompanying a rough diamond shipment is required to meet Rough Diamond program requirements. Having confirmation that a KP certificate accompanies the rough diamond shipment is crucial to facilitate the decision-making on clearing the shipment. However, the scanned KP certificate does not replace the requirement to inspect the original paper KP certificate to identify potential counterfeiting and confirm that the information presented on the IID and accompanying paperwork matches what is on the KP certificate. | KP certificate is the source of the data (this certificate is provided to the importer or their broker by authorities in the exporting country) |
| Issuing Authority | Canada can only trade in rough diamonds with countries that are members of the Kimberley Process. The issuing authority, representing the country exporting the shipment, is therefore required to facilitate the decision-making on clearing the shipment. | KP certificate is the source of the data |
| Country of Origin (Mining) | Canada can only trade in rough diamonds mined within countries that are members of the Kimberley Process. The country of mining origin, is therefore required to facilitate decision-making on clearing the shipment. Mining origin is indicated when the rough diamonds in the shipment have been mined in one country (only one KP member). When rough diamonds in the shipment have been mined in more than one country, the term "Mixed" is used. | KP certificate is the source of the data |
| Country of Origin (Mixed) | Canada can only trade in rough diamonds mined within countries that are members of the Kimberley Process. The country of mining origin is therefore required to facilitate decision-making on clearing the shipment. The term "Mixed" is used when rough diamonds in a shipment have been mined in more than one country (more than one KP member). | KP certificate is the source of the data |
| Number of Packages/Parcels | The number of parcels like the value and carat weight of a rough diamond shipment is part of the minimal information required to meet Rough Diamond program requirements. The combination of data provides crucial information to identify the shipment and to understand its nature to facilitate the decision-making on clearing the shipment. | KP certificate is the source of the data |
| Carat Weight | The carat weight of a rough diamond shipment is part of the minimal information required to meet Rough Diamond program requirements. The combination of weight and value provides crucial information to understand the nature of the shipment to facilitate the decision-making on clearing the shipment. | KP certificate is the source of the data |
| Value in US$ | The value of a rough diamond shipment is part of the minimal information required to meet Rough Diamond program requirements. This combination of data provides crucial information to identify the shipment and to understand its nature to facilitate the decision-making on clearing the shipment. | KP certificate is the source of the data |
| Country of Origin | Canada can only trade in rough diamonds mined within countries that are members of the Kimberley Process. The country of provenance of the product is therefore required in order to provide guidance on clearing the shipment. This data element may duplicate the data element of “Issuing authority”. | KP certificate is the source of the data |
