Shipments to Canadian Agricultural Markets: of imports into Canada and products purchased from non-reporting companies

Include shipments:

• of all product (imported or purchased from non-reporting companies) which you physically transferred (either sold or consigned) during the past month to:
  • your Canadian customers for agricultural use,
  • your own Retail outlets,
• of domestic products from other Canadian Producers not listed on the last page.

Exclude shipments:

• to avoid double reporting of the same products, and to ensure collection of shipments to final destination:
  • do not report shipments purchased through a reporting Canadian Producer or Distributor (see companies listed on the last page)
• do not report Domestic industrial or lawn & garden sales (as best as can be determined),
• do not report micronutrients.

Imports:

• Report all fertilizer products that your company ships into Canada in the month it is shipped to the province of final destination.
• Include products on an Importer of Record basis, and products imported through a brokerage.

Reporting Instructions:

• Report all shipments to the province of final destination (as best can be determined by province).
• For the purposes of this survey, B.C. is the area of British Columbia located south of Highway #16. The B.C. portion of the Peace River block is north of Highway #16, of which sales should be included in Alberta.
• No conversions are required. Report shipments in the form and concentration delivered to purchasers. Note that the detailed product list is for reporting purposes only - the information will be grouped later for publication of: Ammonia, Urea, AN / CAN, Am Sul, MAP, DAP, Potash and Other.
