CONTEXT United States Canada Mexico Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America “Identify, develop, promote and implement harmonized commercial processes, with initial focus on truck carried cargo manifests” Canada Border Services Agency Securing our borders while facilitating trade and travel Advance Commercial Information Customs Self Assessment
Slide5 : ADVANCE COMMERCIAL INFORMATION –
PRE-ARRIVAL TRANSMISSION REQUIREMENTS Risk-based, automated targeting against electronic carrier and cargo information transmitted before goods arrive in Canada, in order to detect high-risk shipments containing contraband or posing a threat to health, safety, and/or national security.
Part of Canada-U.S.- Mexico commitment towards collective security and economic prosperity.

LINK TO ADVANCE COMMERCIAL INFORMATION Carriers will provide electronic cargo and conveyance / crew information as follows: Freight forwarders will provide electronic secondary / supplementary cargo information as follows: Importers will provide electronic admissibility information as follows:
CBSA will
validate data,
risk assess the shipment, and make admissibility and/ or examination recommendations prior to arrival of the shipment in Canada

An integrated system for officers working at the Primary Inspection Line (PIL) that will provide them with a streamlined, user-friendly interface for border processing that is compatible with transponder technology. Benefits:
Integrates existing systems- improves processing times.
Supports valuable capacity of displaying driver pictures (Picture in Booth) to confirm the identity of drivers participating in the Free and Secure Trade (FAST) Driver Registration Program.
Supports interoperability by reducing the number of screens and passwords (single logon) thereby reducing sign in time and decreasing time at the PIL
Interoperable with Transponders /Smart Card technologies. Status:

BUSINESS RESUMPTION PLANNING : BUSINESS RESUMPTION PLANNING Objective
Develop coordinated business resumption protocols at the border in the event of disaster and/or increased alert levels.
BUSINESS RESUMPTION PLANNING : BUSINESS RESUMPTION PLANNING Actions to date:
Recent and significant work has focused on defining communication and coordination mechanisms.
CBSA/CBP draft Business Resumption: Communication and Coordination Plan formalize the process for inter-agency communications and communications with industry.
Plan provides guidance for CBP and CBSA during instances where precise, accurate and timely communication between the two organizations is crucial.
The plan is supported by agency-specific operating instructions for implementation within each of CBSA and CBP.

EDL can be presented at any Canadian border crossing
Periodic collection of existing CBSA passage records provides statistics related to enhanced DL document usage for evaluation
Application, Validation and Issuance of EDL - Provincial DL Authority Citizenship Validation DHS
RFID processing of documents
Collection, storage and use of pilot participant’s (both U.S. and Canadian) personal information
Collection of passage records and statistics related to enhanced DL document usage Note:
