A highway carrier/driver border service provider
Always Open to Serve

ABpC provides ACE & ACI e-manifest services for carriers. No need to test or go through certification with CBP or CBSA*.

Sign up for hands off service with ABpC and let the processing centre handle your electronic reporting to CBP and CBSA.

* Carriers must register with CBSA prior to electronic submission

• From May 6, 2015, to July 10, 2015, the CBSA will provide carriers with a period of transition during which penalties for non-compliance will not be issued. The Agency will work closely with carriers on corrective measures to help them comply with eManifest requirements.
• From July 10, 2015, to January 10, 2016, carriers who do not comply with eManifest requirements may be issued zero-rated penalties (non-monetary) under the CBSA’s Administrative Monetary Penalty System (AMPS).
• Beginning January 10, 2016, carriers who do not comply with eManifest requirements may be issued monetary AMPS penalties.

• A centre of excellence, which services those drivers who do not have the means to transmit or receive customs information prior to arrival at the border
   
• A facility dedicated to providing service to highway carriers and truck drivers
   
• A facility which enables the border process and Customs analysis to happen well in advance of the drivers’ arrival at the border
   
• A facility whose principal role is supported by both U.S. CBP and CBSA
   
• A facility that meets the CBP and CBSA requirements for pre-arrival information

• Driver, carrier or shipper faxes to centre of choice – customs invoices, bill of lading, and driver information or driver arrives at the centre, presents paperwork to centre staff employees
   
• ABpC staff ensures driver has necessary documentation to enter USA / Canada.
   
• If required, additional information is secured or driver is assisted with documents.
   
• Documentation is scanned and transmitted to the Customs broker of record for a PAPS or PARS request
   
• Confirmation of receipt and completeness is acknowledged from broker
   
• Cargo, carrier, driver and equipment information is transmitted to CBP / CBSA via EDI.
   
• ABpC will receive status messages from CBP / CBSA and entry number from broker
   
• ABpC will prepare driver trip lead sheet and ensure driver has complete knowledge of process.
   
• Driver continues to the border, confident the broker and U.S. CBP have processed the shipment information.

WHY IS IT NECESSARY?

• Because a substantial percentage of the trade community is not equipped to transmit the necessary information
   
• Because enhanced border security features and processes in both Canada and the U.S. have changed the border flow
   
• Because border processes continue to change – making it difficult for highway carriers’ I.T. resources to respond
   
• Because the centre responds to all of these changes and will meet the needs of the future requirements and information
   
• Because drivers need assistance and instruction they can understand at time of crossing
