The period of informed compliance for carriers to file eManifest for vehicles entering Canada (whether full or empty) is almost up. Effective January 11, 2016, penalties will be issued where the appropriate eManifest has not been filed, prior to arrival, for shipments entering via truck.
eManifest implementation timelines:
- From July 10, 2015 to January 10, 2016, carriers who do not comply with eManifest requirements may be issued zero-rated penalties (non-monetary) under the CBSA’s Administrative Monetary Penalty System (AMPS).
- Beginning January 11, 2016, carriers who do not comply with eManifest requirements may be issued monetary AMPS penalties and will experience processing delays.
Penalties for non-report begin at $2,000 and escalate for subsequent non-reports.
