If you are considering requesting a Ministerial or President's Review (undertaken by delegated CBSA officials), you first need to determine if the Agency actually took a formal action or made a decision in relation to you or your goods. Then you need to see just what took place and what you need to do to request a review.
You may find it more convenient to see if you received a form or letter from the CBSA. If you were provided with a form or letter, then the CBSA did make a decision and take action relating to the entry of your goods into Canada — and you can request a review.
The following tables show the various forms and letters related to CBSA enforcement actions and trade decisions for both individual travellers entering Canada and for commercial goods crossing our border and the associated actions taken.
How to Request a Review outlines the types of action that the CBSA may have taken, with links to information on requesting a review for that specific activity.
