MSR first Canadian firm to get ACE e-Manifest approval
TORONTO, (June 15, 2005) — The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has accredited MSR eCustoms to provide Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) e-Manifest services for carriers shipping goods to the U.S.
According to a company press release, eCustoms is the first Canadian-owned trade management and compliance solutions provider to receive such an accreditation.
eCustoms’ ACE e-Manifest solution is a web-based service that enables businesses to fully comply with mandatory advance electronic cargo and conveyance notification regulations, which is now gradually being implemented along the U.S.-Canada border.
The solution meets strict CBP requirements for all electronic message types and submission times: 30 minutes before the truck reaches a U.S. Customs border checkpoint for FAST carriers and one hour for all others. CBP is expected to fully implement ACE e-Manifest by next year. Non-compliance will result in fines of between US$5,000 and $10,000 as well as trucks being turned back at the border.
