According to the definition of "import", when dangerous goods being imported are being transported to a place in Canada, the person who imports the dangerous goods is the consignor. If the dangerous goods are being transported through Canada, each person who transports them in Canada (that is, each carrier) is the consignor while in possession of the dangerous goods.
