Policy InstrumentTrade agreement

DescriptionThe United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement came into effect. Effective from 1 August 2020, farmers will be requested to complete the Declaration of Eligibility for Delivery of Grain. This new standardized requirement is mandatory for all grain of approved varieties delivered anywhere in Canada, regardless of whether the grain was grown in the United States or Canada. According to the agreement, requirements for official inspection certificates to indicate that grain grown in the United States is of foreign or mixed origin will no longer be requested. This means that Canadian and US wheat will be labelled "non-foreign wheat".
