The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has announced that eManifest requirements for highway and rail carriers will not be mandatory November 1, 2013, due to timelines associated with regulatory processes.
The CBSA will provide clients at least 45 days advance notice of the eManifest mandatory compliance date to ensure a smooth transition to modernized, more efficient commercial processing at Canada's borders.
eManifest is a major transformational initiative that impacts all areas of commercial cross-border processes. When fully implemented, eManifest will require carriers, freight forwarders and importers in all modes of transportation (air, marine, highway and rail) to electronically transmit advance commercial information to the CBSA within prescribed mode-specific time frames.
