DEALERS: How to
use the program
For dealers who want
to purchase product from one of our pre-cleared
manufacturers, the process is simple. Your first step is to
make sure the manufacturer is shown in our pre-clearance
list. You can check this by
clicking here.
Once you have verified
that the manufacturer is working with us, you can place your
order as normal. You will then receive the importation
documents (Customs Invoice, NVIS), which you can forward on
to your broker. Your broker will then process the
importation following the guidelines set out in
TC10
(Importation Guidelines).
Please make sure you
keep a copy of the Customs Invoice and Invoice from your
broker for your tax credits.
Any questions, please
feel free to give us a call or send us an email, we'll be
happy to hear from you. (604) 527-8378 or
tcadmin@qai.org
How the program
works:
QAI registers for
pre-clearance for any manufacturers choosing to use this
service. Dealers then request units to be imported by QAI.

have to apply for pre-clearance

performed with QAI

continue to use their broker of choice (ie QAI does not
