Core Shipment Fields
Manifest Attachment
- Attached to Trip Number: Selects the manifest this shipment belongs to. Type the Trip Number to search. Leave blank to keep the shipment as "Unassociated".
- Loaded On: Displays where the shipment is physically loaded (Truck, Trailer, or Container). Only appears when the shipment is attached to a manifest.
Clearance & Identification
- Shipment Type: Select the appropriate Shipment Type (PARS, In-Bond, CSA, etc.).
- Cargo Control Number: The unique CBSA identifier. Must begin with a Carrier Code followed by at least 4 characters. Must be unique.
- Importer CSA Business Number: (CSA Only) Format must be
999999999RM9999.
Port & Bond Details
- First Canadian Port of Entry: The port where the driver physically enters Canada.
- Release Office: The CBSA office code responsible for release. For PARS, this usually matches the Port of Entry. For In-Bond, this matches the warehouse's office.
- Sub Location: Required for In-Bond shipments. Identifies the specific warehouse.
Arrival & Origin
- Estimated Arrival Date/Time: Expected border arrival. Cannot be more than 30 days in advance.
- City of Loading: Where the goods were shipped from.
- City of Acceptance: Where the continuous movement to Canada began (if different from loading).
Best Practices
- CCN Verification: Double check Cargo Control Numbers before saving. A mismatch here breaks the link to the broker.
- ETA Alignment: Keep the shipment ETA aligned with the manifest ETA when attached to a trip.
- Sub Locations: Only use the Sub Location field for bonded movements or failed PARS.
- Post-Acceptance: Avoid editing shipments after CBSA acceptance unless you are correcting a specific error required by an officer.
