The Release Notification System (RNS) offers a timely and efficient notification of CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency) release decisions by providing brokers, importers, carriers and warehouse operators with electronic messages. The CBSA instantly notifies RNS participants when a transaction is released and when a Pre-arrival Review System transaction is approved. 

Some common RNS messages received from CBSA including the following:

• Goods Released
• Declaration Accepted, Awaiting arrival of goods
• Goods required for examination – referred
• Authorized to deliver – CSA Shipment
• Goods May Move, Detain at Destination (CFIA)
• Declaration Accepted, Awaiting Customs Processing
