the most current trade and technological solutions available to streamline the
movement of freight across the border.
Mr. Dydynsky was the project manager for several border initiatives to
streamline the movement of imported goods to Canada and U.S. including: Pre-

eManifest – the Benefits

23. Benefits to the Trade Community
 eManifest eliminates unused or redundant submission options,
simplifying the choices.
 Improvements in the functionality and information requirements as a
result of collaboration with the trade community.
 New regulations requiring trade information to be submitted prior to
arrival, will allow quicker processing at the border.
 Shipments will already have a recommendation to authorize or
refer. Border Service Officers (BSOs) can focus on expedited
processing and examinations.
23
Simple, uniform and predictable requirements that will
facilitate commercial processes and lower wait times.

24. Benefits to Canadian Citizens
 Improved response time for identifying and locating a real or
potential threat for goods.
 CBSA officers are presented more relevant information to improve
quality and speed of decision-making.
 No human intervention is required for low risk shipments to ensure
staff give adequate consideration to high and unknown risk
shipments.
24
More efficient and effective identification of threats to
health, safety and security.

eManifest – the Transmission Options

40. 40
Transmission options
There are three options for electronic data transmission:
1. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI): recommended for high-
volume clients.
2. Service providers: A list of CBSA-authorized service providers
is available on the CBSA web site.
3. eManifest Portal: a free option designed primarily for small to
medium sized businesses.
You can choose the option that best suits your business needs.

41. 41
eManifest Portal
• The eManifest Portal is accessible from the CBSA Web site.
• All you need to use the eManifest Portal is a computer with internet
access.
• You can:
• securely transmit trade data to the CBSA and receive confirmation of
receipt.
• verify status of trade data, whether it is transmitted through the Portal or
by EDI.
• submit trade documents up to 30 days in advance of arrival – these will
remain in the portal for up to 120 days.
• receive important bulletins and access online help and reference
material.

45. Setting up Your Accounts
• There are two types of accounts that are needed to use the
eManifest Portal:
• the eManifest Portal User Account:
• Each person who works in the Portal must first set-up an
eManifest Portal User Account.
• To set up a User Account, the user will need to provide
information such as their name, email address and telephone
number, etc.
• a Business Account
• The Business Account is set up by an authorized
representative of the business, called an Account Owner.
45

46. 4646
How to Create a Portal Business Account
 Ensure that you are a registered client with CBSA.
 Obtain a user reference number from the CBSA website.
 Obtain a “GC Key” from Public Works and Government Services
Canada website.
 Obtain a temporary password (shared secret) from the CBSA.
For legal reasons, the request for a temporary password must be
sent in writing. The temporary password will be issued via regular
mail.

47. 47
eManifest – the Notifications

48. 48
Manifest Forward
• Manifest Forward will allow trade partners to identify other parties (e.g. carrier, freight
forwarders, warehouse operators, broker) within the trade chain to whom the CBSA
can forward an electronic copy of data.
• The parties to whom the CBSA can forward data are nominated by the transmitter of
house bill data through a Secondary Notify Party (SNP) identifier (ID).
• carriers will be identified by their carrier code,
• freight forwarders will be identified by their freight forwarder code,
• brokers will be identified by their account security number, and
• warehouse operators will be identified by their sub-location code.
• Manifest Forward will initially be available for House bill data only.
• Future CBSA electronic systems will expand the Manifest Forward feature to other
data and other trade chain partners.
• When cargo is destined in-land, the warehouse operator will automatically receive a
Manifest Forward.

49. 49
Completeness Notifications
• A notice will be sent to clients who transmit valid data on cargo that
are accepted by the CBSA and linked to related accepted data on
the same cargo. Examples include non-consolidated multi-modal
cargo data matched with electronic PARS entries, and consolidated
house bill data matched with house bill close message data.
• A notice will be sent to clients when valid data are accepted by the
CBSA but not linked to other valid data, or when the link between
previously „matched‟ data is broken as a result of data being
changed or cancelled.

50. 50
eManifest – the Process

51. 51
eManifest – Border Process
• Before goods arrive at the border, the CBSA must have received and
validated the electronic pre-arrival data within the prescribed time frames.
• At the border, the CBSA officer will review the pre-arrival risk assessment
recommendation, conduct standard queries and make a final decision.
• This decision will be whether to authorize the cargo and conveyance to
proceed into Canada or to refer for further processing.
• Shipments identified as being high or unknown risk in terms of national
security, national public safety and contraband will be examined at the First
Point of Arrival (FPOA).
• All other examinations may be conducted at an inland CBSA office or
approved inland destination.

52. 52
What has Changed for Highway Carriers
• The driver is required to provide a lead sheet to the CBSA Officer at
the border.
• The lead sheet will contain:
• a bar-coded Conveyance Reference Number (CRN), or
• a bar-coded Cargo Control Number (CCN) with a handwritten CRN, or
• a handwritten CRN if an alternate bar-coded document is also being
presented with the lead sheet [e.g. a Pre-Arrival Review System
(PARS) document with a bar-coded PARS number].
• The bar code allows the officer to quickly scan the number into the
CBSA system and link it to the ACI data transmitted prior to arrival.
• Paper documents and electronic carrier data will both be accepted
until the regulations are in place.

53. 53
Managing your Records
• You are responsible for maintaining records for 3 years plus
current to comply with regulations.
• Importers are responsible for maintaining records for 6 years
plus current to comply with regulations.
• The eManifest Portal is a transmission method only and is not
a database for records management.
• The Account Owner is responsible for complying with all
Customs Act record-keeping requirements and should print or
download Submitted Trade Documents as needed.

54. 54
Get Started Now
 The CBSA strongly encourages you to adopt eManifest requirements
now, before they become mandatory.
 Your business will have:
o more time to adjust to eManifest processes and correct problems.
o access to the CBSA‟s comprehensive online resources and client
support.
o reduced risk of non-compliance when requirements become
mandatory.
