Sub Location (Canadian Shipments)
| This article is part of the Customs Compliance Guide |
A sublocation code is a CBSA code used to identify the location of goods within a sufferance warehouse or other approved warehouse location. CBSA uses sublocation codes to identify where unreleased goods are located and to provide electronic release notification to participating warehouse operators.<ref>CBSA: Sufferance warehouses</ref>
For In Bond shipments into Canada, the sublocation code tells CBSA where the goods will be bonded to while they await release, movement, or export.
Use in ACI eManifest
In ACI eManifest, the sublocation is required to be transmitted for in-bond shipments. It is also recommended for PARS shipments that may fail and move in-bond, so that an amendment is not required at the border to allow the in-bond move.
Carriers using BorderConnect's ACI software can find a sublocation code by typing either the warehouse name or the code itself.
Finding Approved Codes
CBSA maintains official sufferance warehouse and sublocation code lists. Carriers should use valid CBSA-approved codes when completing cargo or eManifest data.
