    At this time, it is now in the hands of the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection to issue a notice in the Federal Register which shall provide further guidance and explanation as to the actual implementation of the Orders. For example, the Federal Register notice shall define what is considered a “product of Canada” pursuant to the applicable Order.

    Once the Federal Register Notice is issued, we will provide further guidance as to how we will all move forward. We encourage you to continue to monitor the situation closely. Please refer to our website for up to date alerts and continue to monitor your e-mail.
