CBSA Message: Maintenance Outage and Time Change

The following message is from CBSA (EDI08-086).

On Saturday, November 1, 2008 there will be an outage between 12:00am and 1:30am AND between 5:00am and 6:30am (Eastern Time). During that time period we will be unable to process data from clients that send over the Customs Internet Gateway, GEIS, Sterling, Viasafe, CN Direct Connect, CP Rail, and AT&T. Also, the link between CFIA and DFAIT will be down during these periods.

In order to complete the time change from the Eastern Daylight Time to Standard Time, all of the CBSA’s EDI system will be unavailable for 120 minutes on Sunday, November 2, 2008 from 1:30 am Eastern Daylight Time until 2:30 am Eastern Standard Time. This will impact all EDI applications including ER, RNS, CUSDEC, CADEX, ACI Marine, ACI Air, Rail and Highway Cargo. No EDI messages will be transferred to or from the Canada Border Services Agency during this outage. Clients are requested to present paper documentation to obtain release of the goods during the outage.

Please ensure your weekend team is aware of these outages. We regret the inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation.
