CBSA Compliance Mapping
How AgDR v0.2 Supports Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) Requirements
AgDR v0.2 provides tamper-evident, atomic records that directly address CBSA’s core needs in export controls, sanctions screening, and border security.
| CBSA Requirement | How AgDR Satisfies It | AgDR Component Used |
|---|---|---|
| Export Control & Sanctions Screening | Every decision is recorded with full reasoning trace and PPP triplet at inference instant | Provenance + Purpose |
| “Know Your Client” & Due Diligence | Binary human delta chain + FOI escalation proves meaningful human oversight | Human Delta + FOI |
| Audit & Reporting Obligations | Cryptographic signature + forward-secret Merkle chain creates permanent, verifiable audit trail | Atomic Kernel + Merkle |
| Real-Time Decision Accountability | Record is created in the same atomic transaction as the decision (no post-hoc logs) | AKI Capture |
Key Benefit for CBSA-Regulated Entities
When CBSA requests documentation for an export or sanctions
screening decision, companies can instantly provide a
mathematically irrefutable AgDR record instead of reconstructed
logs or manual reports. This reduces audit time from weeks to
minutes and strengthens compliance defence.
Practical Use Case
In an export control screening scenario, the AgDR record captures:
- Provenance: Who the stakeholders were and the exact context at
decision time - Place: The intended destination and regulatory
boundary - Purpose: The explicit compliance intent behind the
decision
Any later CBSA inquiry can be answered with one verifiable file: “Check the AgDR.”
