As you are aware, the CSCB has launched the Customs Broker/Importer Search tool to facilitate and encourage the use of manifest forward functionality among the carrier and freight forwarder community, which can be accessed at ManifestForward.ca.

Manifest Forward functionality allows information to be shared with other registrants (see link below) and at this time allows freight forwarders to identify other parties to whom CBSA can send house bill data. In the future, Manifest Forward will be expanded to include other data.

We encourage you to join over 100 customs brokers who have already listed their companies. We are receiving more and more inquiries from carriers and freight forwarders who want to include brokers as Secondary Notify Parties (SNPs) and this information can be easily downloaded from ManifestForward.ca.

If you are ready to list your company’s information on the CSCB’s Customs Broker/Importer Search, please follow the step-by-step instructions, or email us the following information:

• Account Security Number
• Port of entry code(s)
• Primary phone number for Manifest Forward
• Alternate phone number
• Primary email for Manifest Forward
• Alternate email
• Contact names for Manifest Forward

If your firm is already listed, please review and update your information, if necessary.

Please note: Only those customs brokers who have registered with CBSA and who have readied their systems for the receipt of data will benefit from this new functionality.

We need your participation to create the best single source of data for carriers and freight forwarders. Don't miss out on Manifest Forward!
