Abstract
The Bureau of the Census (Census) has determined that Canadian Province of Origin information is required for all U.S. imports that originate in Canada. Census has asked the U.S. Customs Service (Customs) to begin collecting this information. This action is taken to fulfill the requirements of the 1987 agreement between the United States and Canada under which the countries agreed to replace their requirements for reporting export data by substituting exchanged import information. The Department of Treasury concurs with the provisions contained in this final rule.
