Cargo Control and Sufferance Warehouse Modernization

CSCB sits on the BCCC subcommittee that is responsible for the Cargo Control and Sufferance Warehouse Modernization (CCSWM) initiative. CBSA provided the following CCSWM update on 16 May 2013.

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is planning to modernize the in-bond movement of imported goods and the storage requirements of these goods at sufferance warehouse facilities. The Cargo Control and Sufferance Warehouse Modernization (CCSWM) initiative will simplify existing rules and regulations, thereby resulting in reduced costs for industry and the government without compromising the safety, security and economy of Canada.

The modernized process will result in the electronic tracking of in-bond cargo, thereby permitting bonded carriers to deliver these shipments directly to their own facilities or the premises of a third party. The CBSA will conduct, as required, inland examinations at designated integrated examination facilities instead of at each sufferance warehouse facility.
