What types of messages are available?
The Release Notification System includes four message types. Carriers can opt to receive just one type, all types or any combination that works for each individual case: • Automatic Release Notification – Automated “goods released” messages are generated and sent electronically according to the carrier code, customs office number or warehouse location • Arrival Certification – Warehouse operators can transmit arrival messages to notify CBSA of the arrival of commercial shipments and CBSA returns a message to advise whether the goods have been released or referred for examination. • Status Query – Verify if CBSA has processed the release documents for shipments using the status query’s look up feature. • Automatic Status – Instant notification of a broker entry numbers against your PARS shipments. Cleared cargo no longer has to be verified by tracking down the customs broker to obtain entry numbers.
