What is E29B and When should I use it?
An E29B, aka Temporary Importation Bond, is a Canadian Cargo Type for goods to clear through CBSA. It allows for goods to enter Canada temporarily on a Form E29B - Temporary Admission Permit.
The decision to use E29B to bring goods into Canada and the completion of the form itself is the responsibility of the importer or their Customs Broker, and highway carriers should rely on them to supply all the necessary paperwork as well as the security deposit, where applicable. Although it is not a carrier's responsibility, more information on E29B completion can be found in CBSA's memorandum D8-1-4 and Customs Notice 09-006.
