CBSA Signs Mutual Recognition Arrangement with Mexico

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) signed a Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA), on May 11, 2016, with the Tax Administration of the United Mexican States (SAT) that allows both countries to recognize each other’s Trusted Trader members and facilitate border processes. The signing aligns with the World Customs Organization’s SAFE Framework of Standards which establishes standards for globally integrated supply chain security and facilitation for all modes of transport. The MRA was signed at the World Customs Organization 3 rd Global Authorized Economic Operators (AEO) Conference in Cancun, Mexico.
