To complete the scenario: For rail shipments, even if they arrive under one master bill of lading at a U.S. first port of arrival, when crossing the border to Canada, the railroad will break down the shipment into different manifests (one rail manifest per container). But in this case, the consignee will be the steamship line and the forwarder in Canada the notify party on the rail manifest.  How can we file eManifest on cargo that is not consigned to us?  


The CBSA has confirmed that the forwarder is allowed to file an eHBL data set referencing the rail primary cargo control number in this situation. The contract of carriage on the Master Bill of Lading is still between the ocean carrier and the freight forwarder, with a Canadian Customs Office/Port of Destination (delivery). The rail line is only a subcontractor. Of course, the rail Primary CCN must be used for CBSA eHBL filing purposes.
