If you do not have a carrier code, visit the CBSA website under the \u201cCommercial Carrier\u201d section. Available transmission options are: via Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), Third party service provider or the CBSA\u2019s eManifest portal.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, secure a copy of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca\/alert-avis\/eccrd-decce-eng.html\">Electronic Commerce Client Requirements Document<\/a> (ECCRD), and have a good look at Chapters 5 and 8. These chapters lay out the rules and data requirements when sending over date to CBSA. To obtain a copy, contact the CBSA Technical Commercial Client Unit.<\/p>\n<p>Looking for help? <strong><a title=\"customs consulting\" href=\"https:\/\/clearit.ca\/services\/customs-consulting\">Click here to find out more about our Customs Consulting Services<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bonded and non-bonded freight forwarders who are responsible for consolidated imports to Canada will now be obligated to hand over advance house bill date for in-bond and in-transit shipments as of November 7, recently announced the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA).
