About Advisory Opinions

The advisory opinion (AO) process is a tool provided by the Export Controls Division as a courtesy to assist individuals with learning to navigate the Export Control List and understanding the commodity assessment process. The AO is not a legislated requirement and does not bind the Minister's discretion under the Export and Import Permits Act or its regulations. To obtain a binding decision, an Application for Export Permit must be submitted.
