New Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) Requirements
Freight forwarders are required by CBSA to prepare and electronically transmit the required house bill, house bill close message and/or supplementary cargo data within the timeframes specified.
House bills are required for all consolidated import, and in-transit shipments. Supplementary cargo data is required for consolidated Freight Remaining On Board (FROB) shipments in the air and marine modes.
As per Customs Notice 20-28, a six-month period of informed compliance is in effect and penalties will begin June 2021. For more information, refer to CBSA Freight Forwarder Pre-Arrival and Reporting Requirements Memorandum D3-3-1.
