WINDSOR, QC, May 20, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - Domtar Corporation (NYSE: UFS) (TSX: UFS) is proud to announce that in recent weeks its Windsor mill has become the first facility in the Canadian forestry industry to be approved under the Customs Self Assessment Program (CSA-PAD) of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) for the importation of wood, wood chips and biomass coming from United States.

The Customs Self Assessment Program (CSA) is a stringent process that provides assurance to federal agencies, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) that products, in our case wood fiber, and risk monitoring are all in compliance. The inspection and the control of the product being realized to the facility, the passage to customs is made much more quickly. This makes it easier to import fiber, which represents 25 % of the deliveries to the Windsor mill.

"The Customs Self Assessment Program (CSA) streamlines the current process for suppliers and transporters of fiber from the United States passing through Canadian customs. It reduces the time it takes to cross the border and improves the Windsor mill's ability to compete," notes André Gravel, Fiber Procurement Director at Domtar's Windsor mill.
