<h3>The Electronic Requirement: ACI eManifest</h3>
<h3>The Electronic Requirement: ACI eManifest (File as Empty)</h3>
<p>Even though it is an "In-Transit" move, an <strong>ACI eManifest</strong> is required to report the truck and trailer entering Canada.</p>
<p>For a US to Canada to US move, an ACI In-Transit Exemption is <strong>not needed</strong> when initially crossing into Canada.</p>
 
<p>Even though there is freight on board, for CBSA ACI reporting purposes, you will file an <strong>empty</strong> ACI eManifest to report the truck and trailer entering Canada.</p>

<h3>Setting the In-Transit Exception (For Re-Entry to Canada)</h3>
<p>Since you don't create "Shipments" for these moves in ACI, you apply the data to the trailer.</p>
<p>For the Canada to US to Canada return trip, you don't create "Shipments" in ACI. Instead, you apply the exemption data directly to the trailer.</p>
