Canada Border Service

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is responsible for administering and enforcing the Cultural Property Export and Import Act, in collaboration with the Department of Canadian Heritage. This legislation aims to protect Canada's national heritage by establishing export controls for culturally significant objects, ensuring compliance with international obligations under the UNESCO Convention.

CBSA oversees the issuance of export permits for cultural property, which are required for objects included in the Canadian Cultural Property Export Control List. The agency also manages the permit application process, verifying submissions and working with expert examiners to assess the significance of the cultural property in question.
