Clients Affected: All Freight Forwarders

As of August 14, 2017, the process outlined in the original version of this bulletin will no longer be in effect.  Please refer to Customs Notice 17-22 for the interim process for electronic house bills. http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/cn-ad/cn17-22-eng.html

“When a back to back/single shipment (defined as a shipment that involve both a freight forwarder and a primary carrier, but consist of only one shipment), has physically arrived into a warehouse, and a warehouse arrival certification message (WACM) has been transmitted on the previous CCN, but the arrival does not cascade down to the related house bill.  The house bill does not go into arrived status and therefore cannot be released.”
