With exception of a small group of largely agricultural items, practically all goods originating in free-world countries can be imported without import licenses and free of quantitative restrictions. There are, however, monitoring measures applied to imports of certain sensitive products. The most important of these measures is the automatic import license for textiles. This license is granted to Italian importers when they provide the necessary requisite forms. Various apparel and textile products and controlled items such as arms and munitions are the most frequently regulated items. Import licenses are generally rapidly granted and delays are usually from lack of proper documentation or information. (http://www.tradecommissioner.gc.ca., 2013)
