When should I use Goods Astray?

Goods Astray is a Canadian Cargo Type for goods through CBSA. It is a type of Informal Entry (otherwise known as Goods Found Astray or Misrouted Goods) that allows for the release at the border of goods which were originally exported from Canada. Highway carriers must transmit ACI eManifests for this type of shipment unless there is an exemption or exception.

Once the driver arrives, CBSA will verify the information of the goods astray shipment, and will then release the shipment back to the carrier. Verification will consist of satisfactory evidence provided by U.S. Customs and Border Protection or the carrier.
