Customs Notice CN09-019 Inclusion of Intermediary Locations for Release of Customs Self Assessment (CSA) Shipments
(CBSA)
1. Effective immediately, CSA importers can include intermediary locations, as listed on the CSA carriers’ bill of lading, as part of their trade chain partner (TCP) list for delivery of CSA shipments as a consignee. The goods would be consigned to an intermediary location for storage and/or re-distribution to customers in Canada. Release will occur at these locations and the release date will be on the date that the goods were received at the intermediary location
2. During Part II of the importer application process, importers must submit an initial list of their trade chain partners, and are obligated to ensure that the TCP list remain current, and additions and deletions must be provided to CBSA, as per paragraphs 65 and 66 of D Memorandum D17-1-7.
3. The importer is obligated to demonstrate that their system can track and account for goods that are consigned to an intermediary location and determine the release date as the date in which the goods arrived at the intermediary location, prior to adding the intermediary location to their TCP list. The liability will be transferred from the carrier to the importer when proof of delivery (POD) is received from the intermediary location as long as it is listed on the CSA importers TCP.
4. The CSA clearance process will remain as it is today:
a. Importer is CSA approved;
b. Carrier is CSA approved;
c. In highway mode, the driver is registered as outlined in the Presentation of Persons (2003) Regulations; and
d. The goods are eligible.
5. For more information on this process, please refer to D Memorandum 17-1-7 Customs Self Assessment Program for Importers and D-Memorandum 3-1-7 Customs Self Assessment Program for Carriers. Please note that the D memos are currently being updated to reflect this change and should be completed shortly.

CBSA to Retain In-Bond Option for Cross-Border Carriers
(Truck News)
The Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) is declaring victory after successfully lobbying for the allowance of in-bond Customs clearance when the Advanced Commercial Information System (ACI)/e-Manifest program is rolled out.
Until recently, Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) had suggested it would not allow goods to be moved in-bond for later clearance if all paperwork was not filed in advance by the owners of the cargo. Instead, trucks would have been turned back at the border, which would have proven costly for carriers – especially LTL carriers hauling freight for multiple shippers on a single trailer.
CTA argued that removing the in-bond option would negatively impact the entire supply chain. And eventually, CBSA agreed. The border agency said it would retain the in-bond option for carriers that participate in low-risk programs such as FAST, PIP, CSA or C-TPAT.
“By continuing to allow low-risk carriers the ability to move goods in-bond to clear customs at a secure inland facility the CBSA is demonstrating a clear commitment to conduct enhanced risk assessment without unduly impeding trade,” said CTA chief David Bradley.
