ACI eHBL 214 – Who is responsible if the trucker does not report the in-transit shipment at the port of exit? Is it the forwarder since they have the forwarder bond? Will there be penalties, or will CBSA only require proof that the cargo has entered the USA to close off the 8000 CCN bond open?

If the shipment is designated as In Transit on the eHBL 8000 CCN and is being transported to the Port of Exit on the freight forwarder’s 8000 CCN (along with the Port of Destination/Exit and generic sublocation code), the freight forwarder is held responsible. If the trucker fails to present the 8000 CCN to the border officer at the exit port despite being instructed to do so, it’s possible that the trucker would be liable for any penalties. It remains to be seen if the CBSA would accept “proof of entry” into the USA as evidence of having exited Canada. 

Houston, we have a problem!
