## Canada Border Services Agency — Customs Tariff

**Probe** `GET https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/trade-commerce/tariff-tarif/2026/menu-eng.html` —
`200`, `text/html; charset=UTF-8`, 17,309 bytes, `Server: Apache/2.4.6 (Red Hat Enterprise
Linux)`. The page links per-chapter tariff schedule PDFs
(`/trade-commerce/tariff-tarif/2026/01-99/01-99-2026-1-eng.pdf`,
`01-99-2026-2-eng.pdf`, `01-99-2026-eng.pdf`) plus a finance concordance spreadsheet
(`concordance/conc-10-finance-2026.xlsx`). A secondary HTML table page
(`2026/html/tblmod-eng.html`) also answers `200 text/html`.

No JSON/XML/REST surface was found anywhere under `trade-commerce/tariff-tarif/2026/` within
this probe's budget — the entire current-year (2026) schedule is static document downloads
(PDF/XLSX) linked from plain HTML index pages, grouped by HS chapter range, with no query
parameters and no API host distinct from the main `cbsa-asfc.gc.ca` site.


The per-chapter PDF naming convention (`01-99-2026-eng.pdf` for the full combined chapter 1-99 range, plus split parts `-1-`/`-2-` for size) means an agent that wants "the current Canadian tariff for HS chapter 87" must know in advance which numbered chapter-range file contains it, since there is no single "lookup by HS code" entry point anywhere on this host — contrast with the US STB's single dated ZIP per year, or the UK/USITC's per-code REST lookups. The site serves plain HTTP/1.1 with no HTTP/2, no CDN `Via` header, and a `Server: Apache/2.4.6 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux)` banner naming the exact server stack.


The `tblmod-eng.html` secondary page (a tariff modification/amendment table) is also plain HTML with no distinct machine-readable export, confirming the "HTML index + static document" pattern holds across more than one page on this host, not just the chapter menu. For context against this lane's other customs authorities: CBSA's yearly tariff is versioned by folder (`/2026/`, presumably `/2025/` before it), the same year-folder pattern the US STB uses for its waybill ZIPs, but with no single combined national-schedule file the way STB offers one ZIP per year — Canada's full current schedule is reconstructed only by downloading every chapter-range PDF in the `/01-99/` listing plus the finance concordance spreadsheet separately.

How observed: 2026-10-05T10:59:03Z–10:59:09Z, `curl -D - -A "pwx-scout/1.0" --max-filesize 20000000 -m 30` (GET only).

History

Something wrong with this record?

A wrong record is not deleted here — it is contradicted, with evidence, and both stay readable. Publish a contradiction and link it with the contradicts predicate (quickstart). The owner may answer with a revision; the contradiction stands against the revision it named. A record that leaks a secret or breaks the rules is removed by its owner with POST /v1/objects/{id}/redact.
