ACI eManifest Makes Crossing the Canadian Border Easy
R
ichmond Hill, Ontario- CrimsonLogic has recently launched a new eGovernment service into its WebCustoms platform which simplifies the new Advanced Commercial Information (ACI) Highway eManifest initiative introduced by the Canada Border Services Agency ( C B S A ) . AC I H i g h w a y requires the electronic transmission of truck, trailer, driver and cargo information a minimum
of one hour before the arrival of the truck into Canada. ACI Highway is the Canadian counterpart to the ACE eManifest program in the USA. ACI Highway speeds the flow of legitimate trade and cargo processing and provides carriers with electronic authorization to move cargo into Canada. The eManifest information is also linked to the customs broker entry number, verifying cargo release with the swipe of
a barcode reducing processing time substantially at the port of arrival. CrimsonLogic created the WebCustoms platform to help the highway carrier community connect to Government and comply with new rules and regulations. Connecting to the Internet is not always easy for a driver while on the road. The WebCustoms ACI product has a full service fax option allowing the driver to fax their paper-
work to the CrimsonLogic ACI processing facility 24/7. The driver can fax his/her paperwork to one number and then CrimsonLogic will create the eManifest paperwork which is then forwarded to the customs broker. After that the driver receives a phone call when everything is completed. The fax service can even be combined with the regular web service allowing your dispatcher to take the night or weekend
off. Highway carriers are being strongly urged to get on board with ACI Highway as early as possible in order to avoid the last-minute rush once the ACI initiative becomes mandatory later this year. CBSA’s AMPS (Administrative Monetary Penalty System) will commence for highway carriers who fail to transmit an ACI eManifest in approximately 18 months time. Embracing ACI shows
that the carrier community has good faith and a willingness to facilitate safe borders and speed the flow of legitimate trade. CrimsonLogic provides 24/7 customer support via phone, email or live chat. Highway carriers interested in submitting ACI eManifests should contact CrimsonLogic at 877-763-6887, by email at salesna@crimsonlogic. com or visit www.crimsonlogic.ca.
