I am a small warehouse operator and not set up to send electronic notifications, what should I do?

Section 14 of the Customs Sufferance Warehouses Regulations states: “Every licensee shall acknowledge the receipt of goods in the sufferance warehouse by electronic means.” Before this amendment, warehouse operators were allowed to endorse the bill of lading as proof of transfer of liability. Since this is no longer the case, the non-automated sufferance warehouses only have two options to meet this requirement:

  1. Contact the Technical Commercial Client Unit (TCCU) to set up for RNS, or
  1. Use a service provider registered with the CBSA.
