Pre-Arrival Trade Documents

• Reminder: electronic house bills and house bill close messages are pre-

arrival trade documents.

• If these documents are not received pre-arrival, significant manual Border

Service Officer (BSO) intervention will be required.

• Please ensure that the above-noted trade documents are received and

validated by the CBSA according to the following time frames:

9

Marine

4 hours prior to arrival or at

time of departure

1 hour prior to arrival

2 hours prior to arrival

24 hours prior to loading or arrival

depending on type and origin

of goods

will provide electronic

Release Issues

• There have been instances where brokers have been submitting

Release on Minimum Documentation (RMD) for house bills that

have not arrived in Canada.

• RMD releases prior to the goods arriving in Canada, and prior to

freight forwarders submitting their associated electronic house bill

information, is causing the house bills to be released and

subsequently rejecting a freight forwarders attempt to submit a

house bill close message because it is quoting a house bill that was

previously acquitted.

• RMDs are a post - arrival release option and must be submitted

according to the time frames set out in Customs D-Memoranda

D17-1-4

10

Release Issues

• Please coordinate with your brokers to ensure that RMDS are

submitted post-arrival.

• If RMDs are submitted prior to arrival, significant operational

intervention by a BSO will be required to facilitate release of your

goods.

• Brokers may be subject to AMPS penalties when this type of

infraction occurs.
