(Canada Border Services Agency)
CBSA has issued the following statement:
The purpose of this note is to provide an update on the Advance Commercial Information (ACI) initiative.
As you were
previously advised, the May 9, 2005 implementation date for the second phase of ACI has been delayed.
As a result, electronic pre-arrival supplemental air cargo information (e.g. ultimate consignee) from freight
forwarders will be included with ACI Phase II now scheduled for December 5, 2005. Revisions to Customs Notice CN574 will be issued shortly.
In addition, the Phase 2 Participants Requirements Document (PRD) will
be updated to incorporate ACI supplemental data requirements. ACI information sessions for Phase 2 are also being planned or various cities across Canada in the latter part of February and March 2005.
Phase III
implementation of highway, rail and secondary cargo data for all modes will be delayed until later in 2006. We will confirm the actual implementation date in the near future.
Questions may be directed to Layne
Noble at 613-954-7506 or Joy Aldous at 613-952-8403.
