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

Please note that CBSA is receiving and processing EDI (including the Integrated Import Declaration (IID)) inbound data. However, there is a delay in sending outbound messages such as acknowledgements, reject messages and notices E.g. RNS, Completeness Notices through EDI. 

We are working to resolve this problem and will update our hotline as soon as more information is available. We regret the inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation.
