What it does

The Trusted Trader program simplifies many of the border requirements for pre-approved, low risk traders. Depending on membership type, traders can benefit from a streamlined accounting and payment process, expedited clearance for qualified goods, lowered examination rates and/or enhanced supply chain security. The program also provides the potential for the CBSA to improve its capacity to mitigate risk in advance and to focus efforts on identifying traders of unknown or higher risk.

History and lineage

First appears in GC InfoBase's actual spending by program in 2018-19. The data does not record when a program was created; it may be older than its first appearance here, which is limited by the sources (program spending starts in 2010-11, Departmental Plans in 2018-19).

No earlier or later program in the same department has a similar name.
