1) The freight forwarder is required to provide a Close Message to CBSA. If it is a one to one ratio the application will automatically send the close message when the Master or Consolidators House Bill has been submitted. The close message is used to initiate the link between the parent and child documents in CBSA's system.

2) If the house bill submission has a further deconsolidation (Master Loader) the Consolidation Indicator must be set to Yes.

3) The Master Consolidator must submit a HBL to CBSA for every shipment that they have in the container. The HBL may show the shipper and consignee as the NVOCC. A Master Loader must be bonded in Canada in order to submit a consolidated bill.

4) The Master Loader must submit a closing message to CBSA listing the HBLs they have filed under the carrier's primary CCN.

5) The underlying NVOCC must submit a closing message to CBSA referencing the Master Loader’s HBL.
