CFIA Export Requirements

In Canada it is a requirement of the packing plants or abattoirs to read and report the tag numbers to the CCIA database.

Section 188 (1)(b) of the Health of Animals Regulations states that:

"every person who exports an animal shall ensure that the number of the animal’s approved tag is reported to the administrator (CCIA), along with the number of any tag applied to the animal in place of the approved tag, within 30 days after the exportation."

If you have more questions please feel free to contact the Canadian Cattle Identification Agency at 1-877-909-2333.
