Participating carriers and registered drivers in the highway mode have the option of clearing CSA-eligible goods more quickly at the border once identification confirms that the importer, carrier and driver have been pre-approved. 

With this streamlined clearance process, transactional transmissions of data related to eligible goods are no longer needed. 

Carriers eligible to apply to the CSA program must meet these requirements:

1. They are bonded ($25,000.00 and over);
2. They have a history of transporting goods to or from Canada for at least 90 days;
3. They do not have a history of contraband or major commercial infractions;
4. They are willing to be liable for and maintain control of all shipments, including CSA-approved shipments, until goods are released; and
5. They are willing to provide senior management authorization that proper commercial business processes and audit trails will support CSA program requirements.
