Plain-language summary · AI-assisted
Two forest product categories have been removed from Canada's Export Control List: pulpwood of all species of wood (item 5102) and blocks, bolts, blanks, boards, and other red cedar materials suitable for making shakes or shingles (item 5103). Previously, exporting these products to any destination required compliance with export control rules covering those items. Businesses that export pulpwood or red cedar shake/shingle materials no longer need to treat those shipments as controlled under these two list entries. Companies should review their export compliance programs to update procedures that were based on these now-repealed items.
