All carrier modes are required to transmit cargo and conveyance data in electronic form to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). A measured approach has been taken by CBSA in its penalty action for non compliance. Effective November 1, carriers who have never received a penalty, will receive a penalty at level 1 if non-compliant, and carriers who have previously received a penalty at level 1 and are non-compliant, will receive a level 2 penalty. Effective December 1, an additional penalty of level 3 penalties will be issued for non-compliance if a level 2 penalty had previously been issued to the carrier.
