October 25th, 2024 is the deadline to register. Time is running out to register with CID, but what is CID?
"Transport Canada is introducing a new registration database called Client Identification Database (CID) for persons or organizations involved in DG activities. CID will allow persons or organizations to register and will collect information about their DG activities. It will be used by Transport Canada to better assess risk, enhance overall safety measures, and facilitate effective communication and collaboration between Transport Canada and registered persons or organizations."
Do you need to register?
If you or your organization imports, offers for transport, handles, or transports dangerous goods in Canada, you may have to register.
You do not have to register if all the dangerous goods at any of your sites are under one of the following exemptions:
DG activities originating from outside Canada and passing through Canada to a destination outside Canada without any handling being done in Canada;
DG activities across the border, but you do not have headquarters or own or operate a site in Canada;
