RNS WACM 029 – What is the basic process for transmitting Cargo Arrival Certification Messages?
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. The CBSA reviews the release information and data, updates its system with a release or examination recommendation based on the arrival of the goods.
  4. 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.
  5. 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)
