General Export Permit No. 41 updates cross-references for certain dual-use goods covered under the permit

Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice

Three cross-references to items in the Export Control List Guide have been updated within General Export Permit No. 41, which allows Canadian exporters to ship specified dual-use goods and technology to eligible destinations without an individual export permit. Specifically, the reference in row 36 of the permit's schedule has changed from Guide item 1-8.A.1.d. to 1-8.A.1.c.1., and the related software (row 38) and technology (row 39) entries have been updated in parallel to reflect this same renumbering. In practical terms, exporters relying on this general permit for goods previously described under 1-8.A.1.d. should confirm whether those goods now fall under 1-8.A.1.c.1. in the current Guide, and ensure their export documentation reflects the updated item references. Exporters whose goods are unaffected by this renumbering do not need to change anything.
