We are aware of ongoing system delays affecting CFIA submissions, CBSA import declarations, as well as EDI and eManifest Portal messages. CBSA is receiving inbound data but is unable to process and send outbound messages through EDI or eManifest. This is resulting in significant delays in the clearance of shipments.
In addition, there are processing delays with paper entries at the border. Importers can expect extended wait times for clearance in these cases.
To avoid unnecessary delays and costs, we recommend holding off on dispatching trucks until the outage and system issues have been resolved. This will help minimize the risk of shipments being delayed at the border.
Our team is closely monitoring the situation and is in contact with the authorities for updates. We will provide further information and guidance as soon as it becomes available.
In the meantime, please be aware that processing delays may continue to impact import transactions. We will keep you advised of developments and recommended next steps.
