CBSA Message (EDI14-014) - Conveyance Reference Number in Cargo Control Number Field
February 12, 2014
The purpose of this bulletin is to remind Customs Brokers and Importers to ensure the information provided on the release request reflects the correct Cargo Control Number.
Customs Brokers and Importers are quoting the Conveyance Reference Number (CRN) in error on the release request instead of the Cargo Control Number (CCN). This is causing processing delays at the border for the carrier and the CBSA.
To avoid processing delays, please ensure the release request quotes the Cargo Control Number (CCN) and not the Conveyance Reference Number (CRN).
