CBSA Delays Start Date for ACI Highway 3-Manifest- Approved

The requirement for carriers to submit manifest information electronically to Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) for shipments coming to Canada has been postponed.

“CTA supports getting it right the first time with realistic deadlines,” says CTA CEO David Bradley. “Implementing a process without the systems, staff and infrastructure to support the program helps no one. By delaying the project, CBSA is doing the right thing.”

Advanced Commercial Information (ACI) Highway eManifest was scheduled to begin in June 2010. The border agency said that a delay to implementation is necessary to ensure systems are adequately tested and prepared.
