What is the difference between Reported and Arrived D4 Notice?

The difference between the "Reported" and "Arrived" D4 Notices in Canada pertains to the status of cargo during its import process:

  1. Reported D4 Notice: This indicates that the cargo documents have been presented at the First Port of Arrival (FPOA) in Canada. At this stage, the carrier has submitted the Cargo Arrival Continuation Manifest (CACM), which means that the necessary paperwork has been filed but the cargo has not yet reached its final destination.

  2. Arrived D4 Notice: This signifies that the cargo has physically arrived at its destination, typically the warehouse or final delivery point. In this case, warehouse operators have submitted the Warehouse Arrival Continuation Manifest (WACM), confirming that the cargo is now on-site and ready for further processing or distribution.

In summary, "Reported" relates to documentation submission at the arrival port, while "Arrived" indicates the actual physical presence of cargo at its intended location.
