Initiate DSP-83s and End Use Certificates

Some suppliers may require a DSP-83 or end use certification to be signed by GDLS Canada and/or our customers to support their export license application. A DSP-83 is a form used in the U.S. to certify the end use and non-transfer of a controlled good. In other countries, variations of an end user certificate are used. The supplier must initiate the document by filling in the required information, then forward the form to their GDLS Canada buyer. The supplier needs to specify who they want to sign the document. The buyer will then forward the document internally so the appropriate signatures can be obtained. The buyer will then return the signed original to the supplier.

License Quantity - Production

GDLS Canada production purchase orders indicate the quantities we require. Suppliers should indicate the line quantity on their export license application. The purchase order contains end use information, which can be used to support the supplier's export license application.

After initially issuing a purchase contract, GDLS Canada may issue several release notices that indicate when and what quantity we need delivered. Suppliers could end up applying for additional licenses if the release quantity is used instead of the line quantity.

License Quantity - Aftermarket

Aftermarket or spares purchase orders are unique. We cannot predict when a customer will order spares or how many will be ordered. Unfortunately, this means suppliers will need to apply for a license each time we issue a purchase order for spare parts.

When to Apply for a License

In some cases, the license approval process may take longer than it does to produce the parts. To prevent any undue delay in shipping, suppliers must apply for their export licenses as soon as they receive a purchase order from GDLS Canada. This is especially important for aftermarket purchase orders where there may be a customer who needs a replacement part quickly.
