Using the Release on Minimum Documentation(RMD) process, importers can get their goods released when they present minimal documentation. To take advantage of this privilege, importers have to post an approved amount of security with Revenue Canada, and make the final accounting and payment at a later date. About 90% of commercial shipments are released through RMD. When importers have RMD privileges, they can have their goods released from Revenue Canada by presenting a completed cargo control document(CCD), any import permits or health certificates, and, in most cases, two copies of a properly completed invoice.

Grâce au service Mainlevée contre documentation minimale (MDM), les marchandises sont libérées au moment où l'importateur présente cette documentation. Toutefois, pour bénéficier de ce privilège, l'importateur doit fournir à Revenu Canada une garantie d'un montant approuvé à l'avance et s'engager à produire une déclaration en détail définitive et à payer les droits à une date ultérieure. Environ 90 % des expéditions commerciales sont libérées sur présentation d'une documentation minimale. Si un importateur bénéficie du privilège de MDM, Revenu Canada lui accordera la mainlevée s'il présente un document de contrôle du fret dûment rempli, les licences d'importation et les certificats sanitaires requis et, dans la plupart des cas, deux exemplaires d'une facture établie en bonne et due forme.
