As part of Canada’s Advance Commercial Information (ACI) initiative, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) implemented the third phase of its eManifest initiative that requires freight forwarders for all modes of transportation to transmit advance house bill of lading (HBL) data electronically starting on November 7, 2016.
For most Canada-bound cargo, the data must be received prior to loading and validated by the CBSA before arriving in Canada. Thorough records of previous submissions must be maintained and accessible for over three years.
