CIFFA Workshops on CBSA’s New Mandatory Electronic Reporting Policy for Exporters

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has announced the new Mandatory Electronic Export Reporting Policy for exporters. Effective April 1, 2012, the CBSA will take steps to eliminate the manual reporting process form (B13A) for exporters and implement mandatory electronic reporting. Exporters will note several benefits from this change in policy including the elimination of the paper B13A and its preparation and processing costs; elimination of the requirement to physically present B13A’s at a CBSA office for stamping; expedite goods shipped via courier as these shipments would normally be held by the courier if the declaration has not been reported to the CBSA in accordance with the reporting timeframes.

CIFFA is offering Essentials of Exporting Workshop through web-based and classroom options. Participants will learn about the options available to them, the requirements by mode of transport, export reporting procedures, the impacts of the changes to the regulations and much more.
