Following up on the January communication regarding the mandatory reporting requirements for Forever Chemicals (PFAS) by importers, the RV Dealers Association (RVDA) of Canada announced that the association has successfully secured an extension until July 29 to submit a consolidated report on behalf of Canadian RV dealerships.
This means that instead of individual dealers having to navigate complex reporting requirements, RVDA of Canada will submit a single report covering the import of recreational vehicles, parts and accessories — ensuring compliance while reducing the administrative burden on its members.
What to know:
- Consolidated Reporting: The RVDA will submit a single report on behalf of its members, simplifying the reporting process.
- Data Collection and Analysis: The RVDA will be responsible for collecting, analyzing and submitting the necessary data.
- Opt-Out Option: Dealerships can opt out of this consolidated reporting if they choose to submit their own reports directly to Environment and Climate Change Canada.
Next steps:
The RVDA of Canada is working closely with U.S. manufacturer and suppliers to gather the necessary retroactive data.
“We understand that this is a significant regulatory change, if you have any questions or require further clarification, please don’t hesitate to contact RVDA of Canada President, Eleonore Hamm directly.
“Thank you for your continued support. We remain committed to advocating for policies that protect and support our industry.”
