Consultation: Canadian Peat Export Certification Program (CPECP)

This directive describes the CPECP, which provides the basis for export certification of peat-based commodities from Canada. Although the CPECP is not a new program, recent updates have resulted in more detailed requirements that may necessitate additional effort. Specifically, peat exporters must now provide detailed descriptions of the harvest, storage, processing, and packaging processes used for export. Additionally, a map with scale for each peat bog must be provided, indicating the location of the harvested peat, along with a description of how peat traceability is maintained.
