Upcoming Seminar: Implementation of e-Manifest Cargo & Conveyance Reporting

Seminar Date: Thursday, May 6, (Half-day); 8:00 AM
Location: AMTA offices (Calgary)
REGISTER: http://www.amta.ca/Safety/eManifest.html

Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) will be rolling out electronic manifests in June 2010 and it is time for fleets to make themselves aware of how to comply. e-Manifest will require the pre-arrival transmission of electronic information from highway and rail carriers, freight forwarders, importers and custom brokers for all modes of transportation (air, marine, highway, and rail). Highway carriers will have the option to transmit manifest information via Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) functionality either direct to CBSA or via service provider.

This seminar will enable carrier operational staff to learn more about e-Manifest and what to expect once e-Manifest filing via EDI begins in June!

The first implementation phase of e-Manifest is scheduled to start in Spring 2010, with highway carriers transmitting cargo and conveyance data via EDI transmissions to the CBSA in advance of arriving at the border.

The instructor will review e-Manifest, the compliance requirements for carriers, who can file e-Manifest via EDI, the messaging e-Manifest filers can expect to see and how to act accordingly, available support, enforcement plan, and how to get started.
