Canadian Automated Export Declaration (CAED)

Statistics Canada and Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) launched the national implementation of the Canadian Automated Export Declaration (CAED) program, which gives registered exporters and agents the opportunity to report goods electronically to the Federal Government of Canada.

This program was launched on January 1^st, 1998, and is a fast, inexpensive and easy way of reporting your exported goods.

The Canada Border Services Agency is updating regulatory requirements to mandate export reporting. Beginning April 1, 2012, the CBSA will take steps to eliminate the manual reporting process form (B13A) for exporters and implement mandatory electronic reporting. While the implementation date is scheduled for April 1, 2012, a six month grace period will be provided.

CAED 2012 version 12.00 was released the week of December 15th, 2011.

Due to HS Library omissions in CAED 2012 version 12.00, a new release was required.

CAED 2012 version 12.10 rectifies the identified HS omissions found in version 12.00.

CAED 2012 version 12.10 was released the week of January 16th, 2012.

It is important to note that as of Feb 1^st, 2012 version 12.10 is the only acceptable version of CAED.

Prior to downloading the CAED software, one must now also download and install the Microsoft.NET framework 3.5 and the Microsoft Office Access 2007 Data Connectivity Components.
