Client Identification Database questionnaire

Use this questionnaire as a guideline to whether you should register for CID.

Registration requirements do not apply to the following:

dangerous goods originating from outside Canada and passing through Canada to a destination outside Canada, without any handling been done in Canada
- example: a shipment of dangerous goods travelling by road from Seattle, WA to Anchorage, AK. Neither the consignor in Seattle, nor the consignee in Anchorage need to register, as neither is in Canada
a person conducting cross-border movements of dangerous goods who does not operate a site in Canada
- example: Company A in Minneapolis, MN ships dangerous goods to Company B in Winnipeg, MB. Company A does not need to register, as they do not operate the site in Winnipeg
oil and gas extraction premises and retail premises
- example: oil wells and well pads, and gas stations
