Member Resources January 02, 2024

The CIFFA General Agency Agreement (GAA) and Power of Attorney is a legal requirement of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) which allows a customs broker to conduct business on behalf of an importer. Without an original on file with the CBSA, a Customs Broker cannot legally act as an importer broker or clear their goods at the border. This document has been prepared to align with changes to regulations under CBSA’s Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) digital initiative.
