Some of the True Longs seem to believe, quite wrongly, that a Canadian softwood lumber export permit is hard to obtain, when it only requires a phone call, filling in a form, and paying a C$9 or C$15 fee.3. Applicants/Exporters who do not have an EICB company file number must contact the EICB office at 613-944-2168 or 1-877-808-8838, or by facsimile 613-995-5137 to make a request. 4. An export permit is required prior to every shipment of softwood lumber products to the United States. 5. Export permit fees are payable pursuant to the Export and Import Permits and Certificates Fees Order. A $9 fee will be levied for each permit where the export permit is delivered by a person who is not employed in the public service of Canada but who is authorized by the Minister to make the delivery. However, brokers with on-line privileges may charge more; brokers' fees may vary. 6.Export permits are issued with a validity period of 30 days. Applications Not Using An On-Line Customs Broker 7. An exporter may submit a permit application to the Minister by mail or by facsimile. Where an exporter applies directly to EICB for an export permit they shall pay $14. Payment may accompany the application and be made by cheque or bank money order, payable to the "Receiver General for Canada"; by bank wire transfer; or by "Visa" or "Master Card", by providing card number, expiry date and name of card holder. Permits may then be mailed, held for pick-up or sent to the applicant by courier collect. The EICB will deliver the permits by the method selected by the exporter. dfait-maeci.gc.ca .
