Clients Affected: All clients and service providers who transmit trade data using EDI

The CBSA has released a new version of the Electronic Commerce Client Requirements Document (ECCRD), “Chapter 2: Advance Commercial Information (ACI) Air” containing a number of updates, wording changes and clarifications.

A copy can be requested via email at the Technical Commercial Client Unit (TCCU) mailbox : [email protected]. Please indicate “ECCRD Chapter 2: ACI Air” in the subject line.

Alternatively, the TCCU is pilot testing a new online tool for the distribution and download of ECCRDs called GCcollab. Clients who are already subscribed as GCcollab members may log on to the TCCU’s page and download a copy from the “Chapter 2: ACI Air” subdirectory.

Clients who haven’t yet subscribed to GCcollab and who would like to participate in the pilot test may do so by sending a request to the TCCU mailbox : [email protected]. Please indicate “GCcollab” in the subject line. The TCCU will then send you an official GCcollab invitation to join the group.
