Administrative history
The Dept. of Customs and Inland Revenue of the government of Canada was established in 1918 when the separate departments of Customs and Inland Revenue were united under a single minister. Prior to that, the Dept. of Customs was established in 1868 under the Department of Customs Act (SC 1868, c. 43), responsible for collecting all customs duties and public canal tolls. In 1887, the functions of customs and inland revenue were placed in the Dept. of Trade and Commerce (SC 1887, c. 11). Ten years later the departments of customs and inland revenue were restored (SC 1897, c. 18) as separate departments. In 1918, they were reunited and in 1921 the name was changed to Dept. of Customs and Excise (SC 1921, c. 26).
