In the CBSA eManifest system, there is currently an anomaly where the carrier’s CACM triggers the “arrival” and release status when the CBSA port of discharge and port of destination are the same, even if the destination sub-loc code is different. This means that the CW warehouse does not have to worry about receiving an AMPs penalty for not arriving the cargo, as WACM “arrival” is only required for “goods that are not released”. In this case, the goods have already been released, so no WACM is necessary, and they are free to move. The CBSA may issue an AMP penalty if the client is found to be in contravention of regulations/policy, but in the provided example, since the cargo was already arrived by the CACM, there appears to be no violation of the WACM regulations. The CBSA message states, “According to the example, the PARS, cargo, and e-house bill are all set up for FPOA release, port 809, so since CBSA systems already “arrived” the cargo and released the shipment, WACM was not required.
