Is it safe to say that if ACI Supplemental data filing is allowed by CBSA, filing ACI? Supplementary is easier than filing eManifest? Therefore, is it beneficial to continue filing ACI Supp? For example, filing for FROB and In-Transit shipment, it should be easier to file ACI Supp?

As of January 4, 2021, all house bills destined to Canada must have a corresponding eHBL data transmission and a Close Message data transmission.  Freight Remaining on Board (FROB) and cargo In-Transit through Canada are exempt from eHBL filing requirements and so ACI S10 Supplementary data must be filed for risk assessment. [Ref: Customs Notice CN16-23]

 

Freight forwarders can continue to maintain two systems for filing, ACI S10 Supplementary for the exceptions noted above and eHBL for the required secondary data filing. At some point in the future the CBSA will move all filings to one system – eHBL.
