Notice to industry: Service fee cap extended for certain animal health export certificates

As of September 30, 2022, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has extended its service fees for certain animal health export certificates until September 30, 2024. This cap applies to export certification for live animals—for example swine, cattle, flightless birds, poultry, hatching eggs, horses, sheep and goats—and mammalian embryos that do not require testing and inspection by the CFIA.

The current fee cap is of $78.02. Under the Service Fees Act (SFA), the CFIA adjusts its fees annually, based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI). As such, on March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024, the current fee cap will be adjusted for inflation. The CFIA continues to review its service standards and service fees to better reflect the actual cost of delivering services.

The cap does not affect the level of inspection or animal health services provided by the CFIA. There are no other changes to animal health fees at this time.
