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

We are experiencing intermittent problems processing inbound data and outbound data for clients using the Customs Internet Gateway

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

Action Required: Please refer to the contingency procedures outlined below or be prepared to resume transmission once the system is available.

For highway carriers, if you are proceeding to the border during this outage, please ensure all drivers are provided with the correct paperwork to present at arrival.  The CBSA will accept paper documentation during an outage and no AMPS penalties will be issued for ACI related infractions resulting from this outage.

Alternatively, if you already have an eManifest Portal account set up, you may submit trade documents through the Portal.
