On January 12, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced a revised Advance Commercial Information (ACI) e-Manifest initiative, which mandates that CBSA receives advance electronic notification of cargo shipments arriving in Canada by highway. Descartes has extended its Global Logistics Network Compliance Service to help the international carrier community comply with this e-Manifest initiative.
Descartes’ Global Logistics Network Compliance Service was initially created to help marine and air carriers file electronic manifests to comply with US Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) e-Manifest initiative for cargo entering the US from Canada and Mexico.
The service evolved to help customers meet the regulatory requirements established by CBSA for air and marine shipments into Canada from points worldwide. The service was recently extended to address the US ACE e-manifest initiative covering ground transportation. Now, Descartes is extending the service to address the ACI initiative for vehicles entering Canada.
