The following is a CBSA Message regarding eManifest highway carriers.
I am writing to you today to confirm that the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is extending the eManifest informed compliance period for highway carriers as a result of the timelines associated with the regulatory process.
Regulations to enforce eManifest requirements for highway carriers are expected to be in place in Fall 2013. The CBSA anticipates being able to provide carriers as much as 45 days advance notice of the mandatory compliance date.
The extension of the informed compliance period is being communicated to affected stakeholders through a direct mail-out to CBSA-registered highway carriers, the eManifest section of the CBSA Web site, and through other communication and outreach activities identified in consultation with the eManifest Stakeholder Partnership Network’s (eSPN) Communications Working Group. Online publications aimed at highway carriers have also been updated and distributed to all registered carriers and other outreach contacts; they are attached for your information and further distribution.
I encourage you to share this information with your membership and recommend that they subscribe to the eManifest RSS news feed to be notified of important eManifest updates.
Thank you for your ongoing support for eManifest and efforts in extending information to your membership.
