What is Telecommunication Interfaces means?

The use of EDI requires that telecommunication interfaces be established between the electronic trading partners. Such interfaces are possible with the Customs Internet Gateway, Direct Connect with the CBSA, third party service providers and Value Added Networks (VANs). The CBSA currently connects to a number of public VAN suppliers. Details are available at: www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/eservices/comm-eng.html

It is the responsibility of the participant to make whatever arrangements are necessary to send arrival and status query messages to the CBSA and retrieve release/referral/status messages or acknowledgment/error messages. Clients will be responsible for all transmission costs associated with transmitting data to/from the CBSA.
