This message is to notify registered New EXCOL users that as of tomorrow, May 1, 2026, the January 2026 edition of A Guide to Canada’s Export Control List (the Guide) will be in force.

The new version of the Guide will bring into force the commitments Canada has made in the various multilateral export control regimes up to January 1, 2026.

Notice: pre-publication of proposed additions to the Export Control List / Avis : prépublication des ajouts proposés à la Liste des marchandises d’exportation contrôlée

NB: This notice relates to export controls. Information on sanctions will continue to be published separately, as applicable.

Greetings,  

On April 25, 2026, proposed amendments to the Export Control List were pre-published in the Canada Gazette for a 30-day public consultation.

The proposed amendments would cause additional items to be controlled for export, including certain semiconductors, assemblies that contain them, and advanced manufacturing technologies. If approved, these amendments would become law and be reflected in the next update to the Guide to Canada’s Export Control List.

Stakeholders and the public can read about and comment on these proposed regulations in Canada Gazette Part I, Volume 160, number 17, which can be found here: https://gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p1/2026/index-eng.html.

This consultation will end on May 25th.
