Understanding Other Government Departments (OGD) Fees

Other Government Departments (OGDs) are the Canadian equivalent to the U.S. Partnered Government Agencies (PGAs). These departments regulate specific imports on behalf of the Canadian government. Importing regulations are based on the product and the appropriate associated agency.  

Examples include:   

• Canadian Food Inspection Agency 
• Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission 
• Fisheries and Oceans Canada 

Necessary documentation necessary for a specific OGD can be found on the OGD website.
