• Carrier brings consolidated shipment into Canada.
• Shipment needs to go to the primary warehouse.
• Carrier advises freight forwarder that their consolidation has arrived at the warehouse and provides the freight forwarder a copy of the waybill.
• Freight forwarder must then take that waybill into the CBSA office with the paper house bills.
• BSO reviews the house bills and approves the proposed deconsolidation by stamping the paper waybill.
• Freight forwarder returns to primary warehouse with stamped waybill to take the goods to a CW warehouse.
• Once the goods are arrived at final destination (CW), consignees get a copy of the paper house bills, and they can use them to obtain release.
