Destination Inspection Service: inspection priorities

The creativity, experience and good judgement of inspectors, dispatchers and officers in charge will be relied on to deliver inspections efficiently and fairly with the goal of accommodating all requests in a timely manner.

Destination inspection requests are serviced on a first requested, first served basis.

At destination, product perishability may be a factor in prioritizing inspections.

At destination, priority will be given to those fresh fruits and vegetables and edible fungi, as defined in the Licensing and Arbitration Regulations, which are inspected for the purpose of complying with the requirements of Section 1 of Part II of Schedule II of the Licensing and Arbitration Regulations.

The following product and activity priority list is provided as a guide only, as operational efficiencies will also influence the order of inspections.
