How do we get the primary cargo control number in time to file the eHBL before the vessel departs? (Normally we only get it when the carrier issues the arrival notice after the cargo arrives in Montreal.)

Talk to your co-loader/carrier. The master co-loader must provide the primary cargo control number (CCN) at least several days before goods can be loaded overseas. Each co-loader in the consolidation must provide that primary CCN to the co-load customer below. Normally, the co-loader will provide the primary CCN at the same time as it provides its 8000 CCN (which could then become the Previous CCN).
