Under e-Manifest

  download copy to Broker

Importance On Being Accurate

• Information supplied in e-Manifest must match
  release info sent to Broker
• A difference in bill of lading number or
  quantities will not match up
• If driver information does not match up to
  Brokers Entry, driver will NOT be released at
  Primary and will be sent inside for additional
  exams, which WILL result in delays and extra costs

A Breakdown in communications between
Shipper-Trucker-Broker-Consignee-Customs will

• Create additional tie-ups at border
• Subject shipment to delays in release
• Result in possible fines and additional costs
  brought about by being returned to Canada
• And make it impossible to properly import a
  shipment and cross the truck

Windsor Ontario Mayor Eddie Francis Trucks
crossing the Ambassador Bridge carry one-quarter
of all trade between the United States and Canada
more than 100 billion a year.

Importance of Communication

• When Customs, The Transportation Company, and the
  Customs Brokers are all on the same page the
  actual crossing and entry is seamless and a
  rather quick event. It takes only one party to
  be out of sync to keep both sides of the border
  from lining up.
