- The exporter organizes the shipment of goods to Canada with the carrier/forwarder and creates the necessary export documentation, including commercial or CBSA invoices. This documentation is sent to the importer/broker before the goods arrive.
- The importer/broker prepares and submits PARS release information and data to the CBSA, up to 30 calendar days before the arrival of the goods.
- The CBSA reviews the release information and data, updates its system with a release or examination recommendation based on the arrival of the goods.
- Recommendations are regularly extracted from the system and temporarily stored until they match the cargo arrival certification messages submitted by registered participants. These records are valid for 30 calendar days.
- Upon arrival of the PARS shipment, registered participants can send a cargo arrival certification message with the following information:
- Cargo control number (in uppercase letters only)
- Office code
- Arrival code (code “631” indicates arrival message)
