Transport Canada is looking to get companies who deal with Dangerous Goods registered by October 25th, 2024.
If your organization takes part in any DG activities Canada (import, offer for transport, handle, or transport dangerous goods) you may have to register with Transport Canada. Transport Canada is looking to get basic information on stakeholders involved in regulated activities.
Do You Need to Register?
To see if you need to register, visit this website: https://tc.canada.ca/en/dangerous-goods/client-identification-database-cid/do-you-need-register
It contains all the information necessary to determine if you need to register and how to go about it. Transport Canada has a questionnaire on the website to help you decide if you need to register as well as information that can assist you in deciding. You don’t have to register if the only DG you ship are exempted under Special Cases in Part 1 or certain special provisions in Schedule 2. You aren’t considered to be dealing with “regulated” goods if you deal in these products, except if you are using the “500 kg exemption” in TDGR section 1.16, then registration is required.
If you do need to register, you will have to gather some information before you register on the Transport Canada website. This is documented in the “Before you Register” tab. It includes information such as all your sites, the types and classes of DG handled there, and the type of transport involved. Once that has been put together, you would begin registration by clicking on the “Initial Registration” tab.
