CBSA Message (ARL19-0325) – REMINDER: Certain Transactions are Now Behaving as Importer Tagged

Clients Affected: All importers, brokers and service providers.

CBSA Accounts Receivable Ledger (ARL)

RE: REMINDER: This bulletin is now in effect.

Certain transactions to behave as importer tagged

The following documents will behave as if they were “Importer Direct” tagged beginning with the Statement of Account (SOA) to be issued in March 2019.

  • B2 (debit and credit)
  • AMPS
  • K32
  • K23
  • K9

They will remain visible on the broker SOA but excluded from the “Total Payable” by the broker.

Brokers will still be able to pay B2-debt electronically or by cheque – B2-debt status will show on the SOA.

There will be no change to:

  • B3
  • Broker payments
  • Broker specific debts (including interest on a broker debt)

Implementation

First SOA impacted = March 2019

Application is retroactive on any open transaction.

All DN and SOA technical issues should be forwarded to the CARM mailbox at: [email protected]

Thank you for your continued support.

For questions about the contents of ARL or technical issues related to receiving electronic DNs and SOAs, contact the CBSA’s ARL Support team by email at [email protected].
