When should I use A49 Automotive Release?

For products to pass through CBSA, a Canadian shipment type is an A49 Automotive Release. It permits the release of automobiles intended for Chrysler Canada Ltd., Ford Motor Company of Canada Limited, and General Motors of Canada Limited that are arriving by roadway for production and servicing. Even if they were going to the aforementioned automakers, non-automotive commodities utilized in production and servicing, such office supplies, would not be eligible for release under A49.

In order to enable carriers or drivers who are not CSA/FAST-approved to swiftly transfer automotive items across the border, A49 is mostly employed as an alternative to the CSA Clearance Process.
