1.0 PURPOSE

This document was designed to provide participants of the Advance Commercial Information (ACI), Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Cargo and Conveyance Reporting process technical user information on how to use this new reporting process. It is mandatory reading material to provide information relevant to reporting marine cargo and conveyances via EDI. The main purpose of this document is to assist participants with their internal implementation.

This participants’ requirements document (PRD) encompasses information relevant to ACI EDI Marine Cargo and Conveyance Reporting. The two ACI EDI message maps – cargo and conveyance – are in ANSI standards. A separate PRD is available for messages in EDIFACT standard.

We recommend that participants review all narrative sections of this document in conjunction with the message maps as some operational rules impact system programming.

Any queries or documentation requests should be directed to:

2.0 INTRODUCTION

The Customs Action Plan announced Customs’ strategy to establish two commercial processing streams to proactively deal with the increases in volume of commercial goods. The Customs Self Assessment (CSA) stream was developed to expedite the processing of low-risk goods based on pre-verification, pre-approval and post-audit. The Advance Commercial Information (ACI) project was established to deal with unknown and higher risk goods by providing the CCRA with electronic cargo and conveyance data within advance timeframes to be processed by an automated risk assessment tool.

Mandatory EDI Cargo and Conveyance Reporting will be implemented in phases by mode, beginning with the marine mode in April 2004.

The CCRA has modified existing ANSI 311 CUSCAR message maps and developed new EDIFACT CUSCAR message maps. The EDIFACT maps have been developed using a single message structure to allow reporting of cargo and conveyance data by different modes of transportation. This multi-modal message structure was developed as part of the G7 Initiative to Harmonize and Simplify Customs Procedures.

ÓCCRA, 2003 5


3.0 SCOPE

This document addresses the mandatory transmission and receipt of electronic conveyance, cargo, supplementary cargo, and empty container in international shuttle service data, in the marine mode, from carriers and freight forwarders.

EDI Marine Cargo and Conveyance Reporting will:

obtain additional, pre-arrival electronic data for commercial marine goods to allow for more effective risk assessment by providing crucial information such as ultimate consignee, clear and accurate cargo descriptions, and the identification of hazardous goods. To accomplish this, the CCRA has updated existing EDI ANSI cargo and conveyance maps and introduced new multi-modal EDIFACT cargo and conveyance maps as well as new EDIFACT and ANSI 311 X12 maps for the reporting of supplementary cargo data. Marine carriers and freight forwarders can choose to use either the EDIFACT or ANSI maps;

eliminate the presentation of paper, primary cargo and conveyance documents for imports and in-transit reporting by requiring electronic transmission of data within specified timeframes prior to arrival in Canada;

establish EDIFACT and ANSI maps to allow A6 outward marine conveyance and A6A marine export cargo data to be transmitted electronically within specified timeframes. Please refer to the Reporting of Exported Goods Regulations for export reporting requirements.

provide for the identification of multiple export transaction identifiers (CAED, B13A, G7 Electronic export) and in-bond cargo control numbers for overland in-transit movements for ocean vessel export on the A6A export map as well as for the acquittal of cargo control documents that match the previous cargo control number reported;

require electronic reporting of cargo data, including cargo which will be Freight Remaining on Board (FROB) ocean vessels in Canada, 24 hours prior to loading in the foreign port (other than goods laden in the United States). For bulk good or authorized break bulk goods, the electronic reporting of cargo data must be provided 24 hours prior to arrival in Canada.

provide a facility for the electronic reporting of key supplementary cargo data by freight forwarders 24 hours prior to loading, using a pre-approved 8000 series carrier code. Freight forwarders who choose not to transmit 24 hours prior to loading will be required to provide this data directly to the ocean carrier. The transmission of this data will be used to supplement primary cargo data reported by the carrier and will not constitute full secondary document reporting. In addition, marine carriers may also submit supplementary cargo data using their 9000 series carrier code.

maintain paper-based house bill and abstract reporting subject to the same reporting timeframes as today, i.e. on or before the arrival of the shipment at the primary port of destination;

ÓCCRA, 2003 6


provide the warehouse location for goods upon their arrival into Canada for trade examination and release notification purposes;

eliminate split shipments for marine;

maintain current OGD processing requirements; and

develop a data quality review and ongoing monitoring process to ensure the integrity of data for risk assessment processing.

ÓCCRA, 2003 7


4.0 CCRA EDI MARINE SYSTEM OVERVIEW

4.1 Background

The Canada Customs Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Marine Cargo System was implemented in 1996 in response to the needs of both business and government for a more efficient facility for the reporting of cargo information. The EDI Cargo System was designed to:

promote the use of EDI in Canada and around the world; better enable Canadian companies to apply Just-In-Time inventory principles

that are essential to Canadian competitiveness; expedite cargo reporting and movement of cargo through ports and across the

country hence, increasing the competitive position of Canadian ports; ease the paper burden and provide cost savings to both the system participants

and the CCRA; improve the timeliness and accuracy of data; and provide the foundation for release transmissions from importers and brokers.

The EDI Marine Cargo System receives and processes transmitted cargo and conveyance information 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It also combines the automated transmission of cargo information with the ability to perform automatic selectivity and automatic creation of open cargo inventory records in the Accelerated Commercial Release Operations Support System (ACROSS). As a result, the requirement for hard copies of customs cargo and conveyance documentation is eliminated for system participants except for contingency purposes and the export program.

4.2 Operating Environment

CCRA Mainframe Automation Services

The Agency currently has a large number of automated operational support systems, spanning several mainframe computers. Marine service options reside in the Accelerated Commercial Release Operations Support System (ACROSS).

Customs Electronic Commerce Platform (CECP)

In an attempt to address multiple EDI demands, Customs has implemented an Electronic Commerce Platform.

The CECP provides host, security and network interface functions for the EDI process. Operational components of security, accounting, exception processing, and re-start/recovery are also provided by the CECP. This implementation provides CCRA the following advantages:

a common interface to/from the Customs mainframe application

ÓCCRA, 2003 8


support for multiple network interfaces and EDI message standards (public and private)

flexible system design, utilizing modular approach, to facilitate expansion of EDI systems; and high availability, security, and reliability.

4.3 EDI Communication Options

Please note: The CCRA does not endorse any particular service and its responsibility is limited to making this information available to clients. Any decision on transmission services is the client’s and any agreement to purchase is strictly between the vendor and the client. Before submitting an application for Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) services, the client is to ensure that the transmission option chosen is available for the Customs application they wish to use. The client is responsible for all transmission costs to the CCRA.

There are currently five options for clients to transmit EDI to the CCRA's host system. Below is a brief description of each.

VAN (Value Added Network): A VAN is a public EDI network which provides an opportunity to exchange EDI transactions with a large number of trading partners using a single communication interface. VANs generally offer a wide range of EDI services. Clients will be responsible for the payment of their VAN connection and membership fees as well as for the transmission of their messages through the VAN to Customs. A list of VANs is available on request from the Electronic Commerce Unit (ECU).

Third Party Service Provider: There are a variety of approved third party service providers who currently transmit data to the CCRA, using a variety of different communication modes. A list of EDI capable service providers is available on request from the Electronic Commerce Unit (ECU).

Customs Internet Gateway (CIG): The CCRA developed the CIG to provide clients a method to transmit and receive data over the Internet. The CCRA adopted a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to provide for the security and integrity of the data. Clients are required to purchase the Entrust software for encryption and decryption and to develop or purchase the protocol software to connect to the CIG. Clients would need to transmit the data from a Canadian office as the certificate is only assigned to a device in Canada.

CADEX Communication Line: A CADEX line consists of a point-to-point connection (3770 SNA/RJE protocol) between the host program at the CCRA and the remote device on the client’s side. For information on acquiring a CADEX communication line, please contact the Electronic Commerce Unit (ECU).

Direct Connect to CCRA: The Direct Connect is a more expensive alternative (approximately $45K in set-up costs and $15K in annual costs), but provides clients with a direct connection to the CCRA.

5.0 BUSINESS FLOW DIAGRAM

The following section explains the business and system flow of marine reports within the context of the new business and system rules.

5.1 Import/In-transit/FROB Processing- Figure 1

Figure 1: Import/In-transit/FROB Business Flow

It is important to note that the requirements pertaining to the Crew List, Ship's Stores Declaration, Crew's Effect Declaration and any other documentation currently required by Customs or other government departments upon vessel arrival do not change. The only documents replaced by EDI are the conveyance report and the cargo report

Figure 1 represents the various entities and processes involved in processing EDI import/in-transit/FROB marine conveyance, cargo and supplementary cargo data for shipments laden in countries other than the United States. Note that for bulk cargo and authorized break bulk cargo and their conveyance, the advance transmission timeframe is a minimum of 24 hours prior to arrival in Canada.

1a) At least 24 hours prior to loading, the carrier or agent for the vessel carrier prepares an EDI transmission reporting A6A cargo data.

ÓCCRA, 2003 10


1b) If there are consortium carriers, they must report their A6A cargo data via EDI at least 24 hours prior to loading.

1c) If supplementary cargo data is to be reported by either the carrier or freight forwarder, it must also be transmitted via EDI at least 24 hours prior to loading.

1d) The vessel carrier must report the A6 conveyance data via EDI within 24 hours of the vessel departing the last port of loading (not including a U.S. port) prior to its continuous journey to Canada.

1e) Carriers must report their A6A empty container data via EDI within 24 hours of the vessel departing the last port of loading (not including a U.S. port) prior to its continuous journey to Canada.

2) If the cargo is moving inland on other than the prime manifest, an agent for the carrier must present secondary cargo documents in the form of paper house bills, remanifests or abstracts upon arrival at the Canadian port before the cargo can be permitted to move inland.

3) All marine conveyance, cargo and supplementary cargo data will be validated and processed through EDI and Risk Assessment processing.

4) If there are validation errors on any transmissions, a reject notice will be electronically transmitted to the sender outlining the field in error. All transmissions that pass validation will generate a positive acknowledgement message transmitted to the sender indicating the data has been successfully processed.

ÓCCRA, 2003 11


5.2 Export Processing- Figure 2

Figure 2: Export Business Flow

Figure 2 represents the various entities and processes involved with the processing of EDI marine export conveyance and cargo data. EDI reporting of conveyance and cargo data is not mandatory for exports.

1a) Within 72 hours after departure from the Canadian port, the carrier or agent for the vessel carrier prepares an EDI transmission reporting A6A cargo data.

1b) If there are consortium carriers, they also must report their A6A cargo data within 72 hours of departing the Canadian port.

1c) The vessel carrier must report the A6 conveyance data 72 hours after departing the Canadian port. Consortium carriers will also submit individual A6’s within that same timeframe. Note that the requirement to provide the paper A6 conveyance outbound report prior to departure remains mandatory even if an electronic conveyance report is transmitted.

2) CECP/ACROSS will validate and process the data through the various service options business rules.

3) All accepted EDI marine A6 conveyance and A6A cargo data reported via EDI will be extracted to Statistics Canada.

ÓCCRA, 2003 12


4) If there are validation errors on any transmissions, a reject notice will be electronically transmitted to the sender outlining the field in error. All transmissions that pass validation will generate a positive acknowledgement message transmitted to the sender indicating the data has been successfully processed.

5.3 Design Considerations

The following should be considered when designing your ACI marine system:

The vessel carrier must report via EDI the A6 inward conveyance data within 24 hours of departing the last foreign port of loading (not including a U.S. port) on its continuous journey to Canada for the first Canadian port of arrival. Reports to subsequent Canadian ports will continue to be presented to Customs by paper.

Paper reporting for an offshore inward conveyance will be eliminated.

The vessel carrier must inform consortium carriers of the A6 Conveyance Reference Number (CRN) that includes the vessel carrier code and the vessel report number.

Electronic import, in-transit, and FROB cargo data will be required at least 24 hours prior to the estimated time of loading of the cargo onto the vessel.

Bulk cargo and authorized break bulk cargo and their conveyance data will be required a minimum of 24 hours prior to arrival in Canada.

Paper reporting of the cargo data will be eliminated.

If the data does not meet the validation rules, a reject notice is transmitted to the sender based on the method of transmission of the request. The data must be retransmitted 24 hours prior to loading in order to meet the requirements of the 24-hour rule.

o When the cargo has not been authorized to load as a result of not adhering to the 24-hour rule, the client must send in a change with the new vessel the cargo is to be loaded onto, a new estimated date and time of loading, or a cancellation for the cargo.

If the data meets the validation rules, an acknowledgement notice will be triggered based on the method of transmission of the request. This does not in and of itself constitute authority to load. Please refer to Appendix C, Import, In-transit, and FROB Reporting for further details.

Changes to cargo data should be made as soon as they are known. Key data corrections will result in the restart of the 24-hour clock if the vessel has not yet departed (see details in section 6.4 Process EDI Data.)

Details regarding Do Not Load, Hold, Do Not Unload and Cancellation Messages are outlined in section 7.0 Outbound Messages.

As today, the CCN will be reusable after three years plus one month.

The current requirement that the marine inward conveyance report (A6) be received and processed in the Customs system prior to the receipt of the A6A cargo report no longer applies. That is, A6A cargo documents may be transmitted before or after the A6 conveyance report.

ÓCCRA, 2003 13


Consortium carriers should no longer transmit an A6 inward conveyance report.

If supplementary cargo data is received and the primary cargo document indicates that no supplementary cargo data is required, the A6A cargo document will be rejected.

Electronic reporting of supplementary cargo data will be required at least 24 hours prior to loading of the cargo on the vessel. Supplementary cargo data may only be transmitted for import, in-transit, and FROB. The carrier code used must belong to either a freight forwarder (8000 series) or a marine carrier (9000 series).

Supplementary cargo reports received for an empty container primary cargo document will be rejected.

Multiple supplementary cargo reports can be transmitted for one primary cargo report.

The supplementary cargo report will be accepted if the related primary cargo report is not on file. When the primary cargo report is captured, the supplementary cargo report will then be related to the primary cargo report. In addition, the supplementary cargo report will also be rejected if the container listed on the supplementary cargo report does not match the container on the primary document.

All cargo descriptions must be accurate and precise. The following are examples of what will no longer be acceptable: Freight of All Kinds (FAK); Shippers Load and Count; Said to Contain.

Cargo reports for empty containers in international shuttle service will be required to be reported via EDI within 24 hours after departure of the vessel from the last foreign port of loading.

Clients will have the option of reporting an export cargo and conveyance by paper or electronically. If EDI is chosen by the client, the A6 outward conveyance report and the A6A export cargo report must be transmitted to Customs within 72 hours after departing the Canadian port. However, the A6 outward report must be transmitted first, followed by the A6A export cargo report. If the client reports via paper, the current processes will be maintained in that the client will present the required paper documents directly to Statistics Canada.

5.4 Program Monitoring

The following points reflect the processes involved in monitoring client compliance and the quality of data being reported.

Headquarters (HQ) program personnel will monitor the compliance of the external client.

HQ Program personnel will monitor that the client is reporting quality data is within the standards defined in the PRD.

The reviewing officer may contact the client to discuss corrective action in terms of improving the data quality of the transmissions or any compliance issues.

ÓCCRA, 2003 14


6.0 ACI, EDI SYSTEM FLOW

6.1 Message Format

The transaction sets and code sets defined in Appendix E are to be used in the message transmission. Samples of coded messages are provided in Appendix C.

It is important to note that:

all data must be transmitted in UPPER CASE; all data must be left justified; asterisks (*) must be used to separate each data element within a segment; asterisks must be used to represent any data element that is not being used; asterisks must not be used within any data element field; and

Questions regarding the specific use of the Customs messages should be discussed with Client Representatives.

6.2 Data Element Requirements

The message format, transaction and codes sets are subject to change as EDI technology, message standards, data elements and code sets evolve. Before changing to a new version or standard, Customs will send out a notice of intent to upgrade.

The data elements listed and defined in the Segment Purpose Diagram and shown on the maps in Appendix C must be transmitted. The list of data elements and their business definitions are also provided in Appendix D.

The first character of the Report Number must be an 'E' to identify an EDI transaction or 'CE' in the case of consortium reporting.

Dangerous goods information is to be supplied, when applicable, in the marks and numbers field.

6.3 Receive Data Via EDI

The external clients will electronically transmit marine conveyance data and marine import, in-transit, FROB, supplementary and/or export data. The external clients also will be responsible for the electronic reporting of empty containers in international shuttle service.

When a client transmits an electronic report, the request will undergo a series of validations at point of receipt. EDI Receipt ends when the data is stored in the format in which it was sent and the appropriate acknowledgement notice to indicate successful receipt of the transmission is sent to the applicable sender.

The following identifies the steps the system undergoes to receive and accept EDI data:

ÓCCRA, 2003 15


receives transmissions from the client;

authenticates the sender by verifying against the sender profile. This will confirm that the sender is valid for the specific message standard;

accepts sender, if authentication proves valid; or rejects sender, if authentication proves invalid;

verifies that:

the transmission contains the appropriate number of segments;

the data elements in each segment are present and that the structure of the cargo data meets syntax rules;

the size (min / max) and format (numeric / alphanumeric / coded values) requirements are met;

the segments are properly defined;

the segments appear in proper order;

document contains the correct number of loops;

converts data to readable format for next steps in processing; and

sends an electronic acknowledgment notice to the sender, if no syntax errors are found; or sends an electronic reject message to the sender, if any syntax errors are found.

Other Requirements:

1. If syntax errors occur, a reject message with the appropriate reason code will be sent back to the initiator via the same route as the incoming transmission. Refer to Appendix F for a list of error codes.

2. If the EDI facility is unavailable due to Customs system outages, the client will present paper bills of lading as a contingency.

3. The primary carrier can submit the cargo, supplementary cargo, empty container data, and conveyance in either ANSI 311 or UN EDIFACT. The freight forwarders may only submit the supplementary cargo data, but may do so in either ANSI 311 or UN EDIFACT.

6.4 Process EDI Data

The processing of marine conveyance and cargo data begins after the electronic transmission has been received and has successfully passed the CECP initial verification. When the transmission has been received by the system, it will subsequently be processed according to the validation, store, status and trigger notice rules applicable to that service option.

If the data fails to pass validation, an electronic reject notice will be transmitted to the original sender of the message. Otherwise, an electronic acknowledgement of the successful process of the information will be generated and transmitted electronically to the original sender.

Clients are provided the functionality to add, change and delete cargo reports (A6As), supplementary cargo reports (S10s), empty container reports (E10s), and conveyance reports (A6s).

ÓCCRA, 2003 16


Add/Change/Delete Procedures

Adds are used for the first submission of any data, be it a cargo, supplementary, empty container or a conveyance report data. Multiple records of the same type (i.e., all A6A, all S10, all E10, or all A6) may be added at the same time. However, cargo, supplementary, empty container, and conveyance reports must not be mixed within the functional group.

Deletes are to be used for the complete removal of records or packages of records of the same type. If deletions to individual data elements or loops of segments are desired, these must be processed as a change. Where the cargo control number or the conveyance reference number is incorrect, a delete and add must be submitted with the correct number. Multiple records of the same type (i.e., all A6A, all S10, all E10, or all A6) may be deleted at the same time. However, like adds and changes, deletes for cargo, supplementary, empty container, and conveyance reports must not be mixed within the functional group.

Changes may be made at any time after the add has been processed up until time the cargo is released. A change to a record may not be sent in the same transmission as the add for that same record. A change involves the transmission of the entire record, which will replace the entire original record. Individual data elements may not be transmitted separately. Carriers will be required to amend the A6 report to advise CCRA of situations such as bunker calls, unscheduled ports of call, ETA or changes to the vessel itinerary as well as any other changes to data. Multiple records of the same type (i.e., all A6A, all S10, all E10, or all A6) may be changed at the same time. However, like adds and deletes, changes to cargo, supplementary, empty container and conveyance reports must not be mixed within the functional group.

Changes made to cargo data elements before the departure of the vessel from the port of loading of the cargo will restart the 24-hour rule clock; that is to say the cargo cannot be loaded on the vessel for at least 24 hours from the time an acknowledgement for the change transmission is received by the client from the Customs system. If the change was submitted in response to a Hold - Request For More Information notice, loading can proceed once a Remove Hold notice is received.

Electronic corrections, by carriers and freight forwarders, will be allowed up to the point of final release status of the goods or manual acquittal e.g., E29B. Requests for corrections after release must be presented on paper to the local Customs office.

ÓCCRA, 2003 17


7.0 OUTBOUND MESSAGES

There are three types of outbound messages clients can expect from the Customs system: acknowledgement messages, reject messages, and Do Not Load, Hold, Do Not Unload and Cancellation Messages.

7.1 Acknowledgement Messages

The Customs system will transmit acknowledgments back to the initiator. Once the notice has been translated it is sent out to the initiator via the same route as the incoming transmission

Two types of acknowledgment notices can be sent to the client:

1. ANSI X12 997 Positive Functional Acknowledgment message are used to acknowledge acceptance of correct functional group syntax data, transaction set syntax data, segment syntax data, and data element syntax data.

2. ANSI X12 824 Application Advice Acknowledgement message are used to acknowledge acceptance of transmitted data. An ANSI X12 824 Application Advice Acknowledgment indicates that the transmitted data has been validated for specific edits by the Customs system and has passed those edits.

ANSI X12 997 and ANSI X12 824 Acknowledgement messages can be sent in response to A6 conveyance reports, A6A cargo reports, S10 supplementary reports, and E10 empty containers in shuttle service reports.

Appendix F contains ANSI X12 997 and ANSI X12 824 mappings used by Customs.

7.2 Reject Messages

The Customs system will transmit reject messages back to the initiator. Once the notice has been translated it is sent out to the initiator via the same route as the incoming transmission.

Two types of reject messages can be sent to the client:

1. ANSI X12 997 Negative Functional Acknowledgment messages are used to indicate a functional group syntax error, transaction set syntax error, segment syntax error, and/or data element syntax error.

A reject message will indicate the nature of any error. It will contain the following: identification of the syntax error and a repeat of the transmitted data that is in error, if appropriate.

ÓCCRA, 2003 18


The following are the types of errors a client can expect to see from the EDI Cargo System:

a. functional group syntax errors which refer to errors in the way a transmission was structured;

b. transaction set syntax errors which refer to errors in the way a specific message, for example, a conveyance report or cargo report was structured;

c. segment syntax errors which refer to errors in the way a series of data elements or fields were strung together; and

d. data element syntax errors which refer to errors in a specific field.

A specific error will cause only the specific message within which it occurred to be rejected. For example, if a transmission contains several cargo reports where one cargo report contains a syntax error, only that specific cargo report will be rejected.

The exception to this occurs when an error is made in the functional group syntax, in which case the entire transmission will be rejected.

With respect to functional group syntax errors, the following codes will be used:a. functional group not supported;b. functional group version not supported;c. functional group trailer missing;d. data interchange control number in the functional group header and trailer do not

agree; ande. number of included transaction sets does not match the actual count.

With respect to transaction set syntax errors, the following codes will be used:

a. transaction set not supported;b. transaction set trailer missing;c. transaction set control number in header and trailer do not match;d. number of included segments does not match actual count;e. one or more segments in error;f. missing or invalid transaction set identifier; andg. missing or invalid transaction set control number.

A transaction error with the code '5' will mean that the Cargo Control Number is in error. For example, this can occur because the Cargo Control Number is a duplicate.

With respect to segment syntax errors, the following codes will be used:

a. unrecognized segment identification;b. unexpected segment;c. mandatory segment missing;d. loop occurs over maximum times;e. segment exceeds maximum use;f. segment not in defined transaction set; andg. segment not in proper sequence.

ÓCCRA, 2003 19


With respect to data element syntax errors, the following codes will be used:

a. mandatory data element missing;b. conditional required element missing;c. too many data elements;d. data element too short;e. data element too long;f. invalid character in data element;g. invalid code value;h. invalid date; andi. invalid time.

2. ANSI X12 824 Application Advice reject messages are used to respond to application specific edits. An ANSI X12 824 Application Advice reject message indicates that the transmitted data has been validated for specific edits by the Customs system and one or more errors have been detected. This message will also allow clients to easily identify the reason for the rejected transmission(s). Element 02 of the TED segment refers to a list of error codes found in Appendix F. The data should be corrected and the message re-transmitted to Customs.

ANSI X12 997 Negative Functional Acknowledgement and ANSI X12 824 Application Advice reject messages can be sent in response to A6 conveyance reports, A6A cargo reports, S10 supplementary reports, and E10 empty containers in shuttle service reports.

Appendix F contains ANSI X12 997 and ANSI X12 824 mappings and error messages used by Customs.

7.3 Do Not Load, Hold, Do Not Unload and Cancellation Messages

The Customs system will send Do Not Load, Hold, Do Not Unload and Cancellation messages back to the initiator and other relevant parties. Once the message has been translated it is sent out to the party(ies) via the same EDI route as the incoming transmission. These messages will reference the cargo control number, supplementary reference number, conveyance report number and/or container numbers where applicable.

1. Do Not Load Messages – This type of message may be transmitted to the client(s) prior to the loading of the cargo on the vessel. If a Do Not Load message is received, the cargo is not authorized to be loaded onto the vessel.

A Do Not Load message for an A6A cargo report will be sent to the A6A sender.

ÓCCRA, 2003 20


A Do Not Load message resulting from an S10 supplementary cargo report will be sent to the A6A cargo report sender and to the supplementary cargo report sender.

A Do Not Load message may be issued prior to the lading of the cargo on the vessel in the foreign port where:

a) Canada Customs requires information pertaining to the cargo such as description of goods, ultimate consignee, shipper. In this case, if the vessel has not departed and the carrier/freight forwarder has additional information pertaining to the cargo that he would like to clarify/correct, he must re-transmit the required data to Canada Customs using the EDI change function. If the vessel has departed without the cargo and the carrier/freight forwarder has additional information pertaining to the cargo that he would like to clarify/correct and the cargo is to be laden on board another vessel, the EDI original request should be cancelled and another EDI original request submitted using a new Cargo Control Number/Supplementary Cargo Report number;

b) Canada Customs requires the carrier to await instructions from the foreign Customs administration; and/or

c) Canada Customs advises that the goods are not to be loaded on any vessel bound for Canada.

If a Do Not Load message is issued, the carrier must not load the cargo until authorization is granted by Canada Customs in the form of a Cancellation message for the Do Not Load (see Cancellations/Removals below).

In the case of an A6A cargo report or a supplementary cargo report, if a Cancellation message is to be issued, the carrier/freight forwarder can expect to receive it prior to the actual date and time of loading.

2. Hold Messages - This type of message may be transmitted to the client(s) subsequent to the loading of the cargo on the vessel in the foreign port.

A Hold message for an A6A cargo report or an E10 empty container(s) report will be sent to the A6A/E10 sender.

A Hold message resulting from an S10 supplementary cargo report will be sent to the A6A sender and where applicable, to the S10 sender.

A Hold message may be issued subsequent to the lading of the cargo on the vessel in the foreign port where:

a) Canada Customs requires information pertaining to the cargo such as delivery address, notify party. In this case, the carrier/freight forwarder must re-transmit the required data to Canada Customs using the EDI change function; and/or

ÓCCRA, 2003 21


b) Canada Customs may require an examination of the cargo upon arrival.

In cases a) and b) above, the cargo may be unloaded from the vessel in Canada but is not authorized to move until permission is granted by Canada Customs in the form of a Hold Cancellation message (see Cancellations below).

3. Do Not Unload Messages – This type of message may be transmitted to the client(s) subsequent to the loading of the cargo on the vessel. If a Do Not Unload message is received, the cargo is not authorized to be unloaded from the vessel in Canada.

A Do Not Unload message for an A6A cargo report will be sent to the A6A sender and where applicable, to the S10 supplementary cargo report sender.

A Do Not Unload message resulting from an S10 supplementary cargo report will be sent to the A6A cargo report sender and where applicable, to the S10 supplementary cargo report sender.

A Do Not Unload message may be issued subsequent to the lading of the cargo on the vessel in the foreign port where:

a) A review by Canada Customs has resulted in the determination that the cargo may not be unloaded in Canada.

In this case, a cancellation message will not be issued.

4. Cancellation Messages - This type of message may be transmitted to the client(s) any time subsequent to the issuance of Do Not Load, Hold and Do Not Unload messages in order to cancel these instructions. Cancellation messages will be sent to the recipients of the Do Not Load, Hold and Do Not Unload messages as appropriate.

8.0 AVAILABILITY OF THE EDI CARGO SYSTEM

The CECP Platform will be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with an overall target availability rate of 95%. ACROSS will download its messages from the respective method of transmission from the client at regularly scheduled intervals. Customs reserves the right to change the frequency at its discretion. Customs will monitor the system availability.

The EDI Cargo System will, under normal conditions, endeavour to send error messages back through the respective method of transmission from the client within 120 minutes from the receipt of the transmitted messages. However, circumstances beyond Customs control, such as high peak volumes, may cause delays.

ÓCCRA, 2003 24


9.0 RELIABILITY OF THE EDI CARGO SYSTEM

9.1 Security

Each trading partner shall undertake all steps necessary to prevent unauthorized access to and use of any portion of the EDI Cargo System that is in their control. In addition, each trading partner shall comply with the security procedures as outlined in their respective trading partners list of instructions or instruction manual.

Customs will use dedicated lines to those trading partners who use VANs or who have direct connect. These will have audit trails and password protection within Customs. The same audit trails and password protection is used for trading partners who use CIG, third party service providers and the CADEX lines.

9.2 Confidentiality

Each trading partner shall preserve the confidentiality of information of the other trading partner.

9.3 Authorization

Each trading partner takes responsibility for controlling access by its employees to the EDI Cargo System. Any message received by the CCRA would have been properly processed and authorized by the trading partner.

9.4 Authentication

Authentication refers to each document incorporating criteria permitting the receiver to verify that it is an authentic document of the sender. A password will be incorporated in the functional group segment for this purpose.

In addition, each trading partner will follow the authentication procedures specified in their respective trading partner’s list of instructions or instruction manual.

9.5 Incomplete, Inaccurate or Corrupted Documents

The risk of an undetectable error in transmission is upon the sender. The client is responsible for the cost and maintenance of their data, either through an agreement with their trading partner or through their own facility. The CCRA is not responsible for lost data nor the cost of the retransmission of lost data.

ÓCCRA, 2003 25


10.0 PROBLEM REPORTING & RESOLUTION

In the event a system and/or procedural problem is discovered by the client, the client will contact a Client Representative. The Client Representative will perform a preliminary assessment and if necessary will log the information in the problem file and send a problem identification report to the EDI IT group.

After an initial analysis, a clarification request may be forwarded to the client should additional information be required.

Once it has been established that the problem is with the Customs system, all relevant data will be compiled and analyzed after which a solution will be determined, tested and implemented.

If the problem is determined to be in the client’s environment, it will be the responsibility of the client to identify the problem area, resolve it and implement a solution.

10.1 Back-Up-Provisions

Customs will keep a back-up of all transmissions received from the respective service providers. Likewise, clients and service providers should keep a back-up of all transmissions sent and received from Customs or other service providers.

10.2 Contingency Plan In The Event Of System Failure

If the EDI Cargo System ceases to be available because of some failure of equipment or services, each party will use its best efforts to continue normal communications between it and the other party by alternate means, and to restore the EDI Cargo System to normal operating condition as soon as is reasonably possible.

Clients must retain the ability to produce hard copy vessel and cargo declarations in the event of disruption of EDI services.

ÓCCRA, 2003 26


11.0 THE APPLICATION & TESTING PROCESS

11.1 Are You Ready For EDI?

EDI is simply a mechanism for transferring data in a machine-usable form from one computer system to another. However, EDI's practical application requires certain conditions. Both ends of the link (i.e.: both trading partners) need to be computerized. Telecommunication capability, translator software and back-up provisions will be required.

11.2 The Formal Application Process

Clients who wish to transmit via EDI should complete and submit the formal application in Appendix B to Customs. The application has two purposes: it establishes the client as a potential participant and it provides Customs with basic information on the client, a description of their automated system and their anticipated volumes. Once the application has been processed by Customs, a Client Representative will be assigned to the client and the testing can begin.

11.3 The Memorandum Of Understanding

The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in Appendix B represents the agreement between Customs and the client with respect to transmissions. The MOU must be signed by a senior representative of the client’s firm before the client can begin transmission to the EDI Cargo System. Both forms can be faxed to 613-952-9979 to the attention of the Manager, Electronic Commerce Unit.

11.4 The Client Representative

Each participating client will be assigned a Client Representative who will be located at Customs Headquarters. The Client Representative will act as an official contact for the client and will be able to provide additional advice. Technical advice will also be given where possible. However, the Client Representative's role is limited to the EDI Cargo System and Customs operational procedures dealing directly with this system. Each participant will be responsible for the development and implementation of their automated system, both hardware and software.

During the participant’s development stage, the Client Representative will provide assistance on matters such as interpretation of the message standards and code sets.

During the testing phase with Customs, the Client Representative will work closely with the client to:

coordinate transmissions of data;

ensure results of edits are conveyed back to the client both electronically and with follow-up telephone calls;

assist the client in interpreting Customs acknowledgements and error messages;

monitor the client’s progress through the testing stages; and

monitor data quality.

ÓCCRA, 2003 27


Once the client is in production status, they can contact the EDI hotline at 888-957-7224 for assistance or any problems concerning the transmission of EDI data.

The Client Representative will be available during normal business hours.

ÓCCRA, 2003 28


12.0 CARRIER AND FREIGHT FORWARDER ACCEPTANCE TESTING

Carriers and freight forwarders interested in participating in the EDI Cargo System must undergo acceptance testing.

12.1 Requirement

During testing, clients are required to satisfy the EDI Cargo System production requirements by successfully completing a series of progressively more complex tests that will verify whether:

various types and volumes of data records are capable of being transmitted;

the quality of the data is acceptable;

the accurate reception of error messages, acknowledgements and other feedback transmissions from the EDI Cargo System is taking place; and

transmissions are error free a minimum of 95% of the time.

To receive information on the testing procedures and the test package, please contact your Client Representative.

APPENDIX C – ANSI MAPS & IMPORTANT INFORMATION

INTRODUCTION

This message map defines the data elements and structure associated with submitting an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) message to supply EDI marine conveyance, cargo, supplementary and empty containers in international service data to the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA).

These marine messages have been designed using version 4010 of the American Standards Committee (ASC) X12 Standards as controlled by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

EXPLANATION OF MESSAGE MAP COLUMNS

The message map contains a number of information columns for each data element. The function and values of the "columns" are described below.

Segment ID

Every ASC X12 segment (a group of associated data elements) is assigned a unique 2 or 3 alphanumeric "Tag" for reference purposes. The tags are defined within the X12 data element directories. It should be noted that the "tag" is transmitted within the EDI messages in the order that they are defined.

Element ID

This column of the map identifies the element position within the ASC X12 message structure. The element position numbers identify the position of a data element within a segment. Simple data elements are assigned the next sequential number in order of occurrence within the segment.

Reference ID/Names

This column provides the assigned Reference Id and the Name of the ASC X12 Segment, Composite, Component, or Simple Data element, as defined in the ASC X12 directories.

Composite Data Element Name

Identifies a high level name of a set of associated data elements. The associated data elements are referred to as "component" data elements. Composites are identified by a single alpha character (C or S) followed by 3 unique numerics.

Component Data Element

Identification of a component data element which is part of a composite data element. Component data elements are identified by unique numbers.

Simple Data Element Name

Name of a unique/individual data element within a segment, a "simple" data element contains one element for a single function/use. Simple

ÓCCRA, 2003 41


data elements are identified by unique numbers.

Notes

This column of the map provides notes and/or descriptions on the Segments Groups, Segments, and individual data elements. It also will identify the application data elements associated to the ASC X12 data elements. In many cases, mandatory ASC X12 codes are used to qualify the data elements being supplied. In these cases, the description of the ASC X12 codes values are provided.

Attributes

M=MandatoryO=OptionalAN=Alphanumeric characters (a to z, 0 to 9, plus special characters)ID=CodedR=Real NumberNO=NumberDT=DateTM=TimeX=These elements are optional; however, where one value is provided, an immediately preceding or succeeding value must also be provided.

Depending on the message requirement, different rules of "mandatory" or "optional" use of a data element may apply. In addition, a hierarchy of rules apply, if a segment or composite data element is optional, but it is used (based on the condition) some of the subordinate elements may be mandatory. In addition to the status, some segments may be repeated more that once within a message, if there is a repeat factor this is also specified in this column.

Where segments are concerned, where a “/”appears between two numbers, the number before the “/” indicates minimum number of occurrences of the segment. The number after the “/” indicates the maximum number of occurrences of the segment.

Where simple data elements are concerned, where a “/”appears between two numbers, the number before the “/” indicates the minimum length of the data element. The number after the “/”indicates the maximum length of the data element.

Codes

This column provides the details of the content of the data element, the expected values/codes or the applicable application data element to be supplied. In the case of Date/Time data elements the format of the date/time is also defined.

DEFAULT SYNTAX

The ASC X12 message structure is formatted using an asterisk (*) to control the position of data within a segment. In some cases, optional/conditional data elements within a segment must be

ÓCCRA, 2003 42


“skipped” (if they are not used). In these cases, more than one asterisk will be required after a particular data element.

Please Note there are two base maps for ACI EDI Marine Cargo and Conveyance Reporting: the A6A cargo map and the A6 conveyance map. The other three maps –supplementary cargo, empty container, and export cargo - are derived from the A6A cargo map. Multiple maps were developed in an effort to provide a clearer and simpler visual representation of the reporting requirements depending on the client and the nature of the client’s business.

Import, Intransit and FROB Cargo Reporting The carrier will transmit an A6A cargo report for imports, in-transit or FROB at least

24 hours in advance of loading of the cargo in the foreign port. The A6A will have an indicator to advise if supplementary cargo data is required and a supplementary cargo report will be transmitted. When the Supplementary Data Required indicator is “Y” on the A6A, the carrier will provide an estimated date and time of loading (EDTL) for the cargo.

For primary cargo reports where the Supplementary Data Required Indicator indicates that supplementary cargo data is required, the estimated date/time of lading will be used to determine the 24 hour “prior to loading” timeframe for the commencement of risk assessment processing.

If the supplementary cargo data has not been received 24 hours prior to the estimated date and time of loading, Customs will generate an outbound message to the client for the cargo concerned. It should be noted that supplementary cargo data can precede the primary cargo report.

For cargo reports where the Supplementary Data Required Indicator indicates that supplementary cargo data is not required, the cargo should be considered authorized to load onto the conveyance if no Do Not Load or Hold Messages is received indicating that the cargo should not be loaded, 24 hours after receipt of the transmission acknowledgement.

If the transmission is rejected by the CECP or the Customs system, the client will transmit a correction.

Corrections to cargo data should be made as soon as they are known. Electronic corrections by carriers and freight forwarders will be allowed up to the point of final release status of the goods or manual acquittal e.g., E29B. Requests for corrections after release must be presented on paper to the local Customs office.


Any rejects that the client does not correct will be considered as a non-report of cargo and, therefore, the cargo will not be considered as authorized to be loaded onto the vessel.

ÓCCRA, 2003 43


Upon receipt of a transmission that meets system edit rules, Customs will issue an acknowledgement message.

If an acknowledgement message is not received, the carrier/freight forwarder must resubmit corrected data for the cargo within the reporting timeframes specified above.

After the data is successfully transmitted the originator will receive an Acknowledgement Notice from the Customs system. If the transmission does not meet system edit rules, Customs will issue a reject validation message where possible (i.e. when the system can identify the transmitter of the data). Please refer to section 7.0 Outbound Messages for the list of possible notices that can be received.

Note: CCRA will not notify the carrier/freight forwarder of the authorization to load. However, if a “No Load” notice has been issued and further information is received that results in a change of decision, a new notice will be sent regarding the change of decision.

Import and in-transit cargo data can be accepted in the system prior to a conveyance report being on file.

The carrier must identify any dangerous goods using the UN Dangerous Goods code.

The commodity description should be in plain language, accurate, and detailed enough to allow Customs to identify the size, shape and characteristics of the commodity.

Goods in a cargo container are required to be reported electronically to Customs at least 24 hours prior to loading the goods on board the ship that transports those goods to Canada.

Bulk goods on board a ship bound for Canada, are required to be reported electronically to Customs at least 24 hours prior to arrival in Canada.

Goods other than bulk or containerized are required to be reported electronically to Customs at least 24 hours prior to loading the goods on board the ship that transports those goods to Canada, unless otherwise authorized by CCRA. Where an authorization is granted, the cargo data for those goods must be transmitted electronically to Customs at least 24 hours prior to arrival in Canada. Please refer to Customs Notice N-542 for information on obtaining authorizations.

If goods (other than bulk goods), for which a cargo report has been transmitted, are removed from a ship prior to arrival in Canada, and then laden aboard another ship for transporting to Canada, the carrier must transmit this new information electronically to Customs at least 24 hours prior to loading on board the ship that transports those goods to Canada.

All goods laden in a country other than the United States, on board a ship bound for Canada that remain on board that ship (i.e., Freight Remaining On Board (FROB)) while in-transit to a third country (including the United States), must comply with the requirement to provide advance notice of cargo information within the timeframes noted above, unless otherwise exempted by Customs. All goods laden in the United States, on board a ship bound for Canada will be exempt from the requirement to provide advance electronic notice of cargo information.

Supplementary Cargo Data Reporting

Supplementary cargo data is required to be transmitted electronically to Customs to provide more detailed information that is not available on the primary cargo report transmitted; ultimate consignee name and address information, shipper name and address information, commodity descriptions that are in plain language, accurate, and detailed enough to allow Customs to identify the size, shape and characteristics of the product.

This data is used to supplement primary cargo data reported by the carrier and does not constitute full secondary document reporting.

Where a freight forwarder is contracted to transport or dispatch goods, and delivers or arranges the delivery of those goods to a marine carrier for loading on board a ship at a foreign port, that freight forwarder, when possessing a Customs assigned carrier code, may provide the supplementary cargo data for those goods, directly to Customs, when the freight forwarder does not wish to divulge the information to the carrier or its agent. As with the primary cargo data, this supplementary cargo data must be transmitted electronically to Customs at least 24 hours prior to loading in the foreign port.

Freight forwarders requiring a carrier code solely for electronic transmission purposes may obtain further information by calling Carrier and Cargo Policy at (613) 954-7081.

Freight forwarders who choose not to transmit directly to Customs will be required to provide supplementary cargo data directly to the marine carrier or to a service provider to transmit on their behalf. The primary carrier or a service provider may transmit the supplementary cargo data on behalf of the freight forwarder. A service provider transmitting a supplementary cargo report must use the freight forwarder’s 8000 series code. The primary carrier may use their 9000 series carrier code for transmitting supplementary cargo reports.

Supplementary cargo data can be transmitted before or after the A6A primary cargo data.

Corrections to supplementary cargo data should be made as soon as they are known. Electronic corrections by clients will be allowed up to the point of final release status of the goods or by a manual acquittal, e.g., E29B, etc. Corrections required after release should be presented on paper to the local Customs office.

Empty Containers in International Shuttle Service Reporting

Marine carriers will report empty containers that are coming from offshore that are considered to be in international shuttle service classified as Customs Tariff items 9801.10.00.00, 9801.00.00.10, and 9814.00.00.10, on one primary cargo report (E10). The E10 will list all empty containers in shuttle service under the responsibility of the marine carrier for a specific conveyance and voyage.

Marine carriers will report empty containers in international shuttle service that are entering Canada or that are freight remaining on board the vessel.

Carriers must transmit this information electronically to Customs within 24 hours of departure of the vessel from its last foreign port of loading (other than the U.S.) on its direct voyage to Canada.

If empty marine containers are laden in the United States prior to the conveyance arriving in Canada, an E10 cargo report should be transmitted upon the vessel’s departure from the U.S. seaport.

Supplementary cargo reports are not required for E10 empty container reports.

Export Cargo and Conveyance

Carriers will have the option of electronically transmitting export cargo and conveyance data. Vessel and consortium carriers who choose to transmit export cargo and conveyance data electronically to Customs will do so within 72 hours after departing the Canadian port. It is important to note that the A6 conveyance report must be transmitted prior to the A6A cargo report.

As opposed to inward conveyance reporting, consortium carriers will continue to submit individual A6 conveyance reports to Customs.

A paper outward conveyance report will continue to be mandatory prior to departure in accordance with current procedures.

Clients should refer to the Reporting of Exported Goods Regulations for details on the export reporting requirements for cargo and conveyance. Questions regarding export processing may also be addressed to:

Canada Customs and Revenue AgencyExport Process Division 15th Floor, Sir Richard Scott Building191 Laurier Ave. W.Ottawa, OntarioK1A0L5Phone: 613-954-7160Fax: 613-946-0241Email: [email protected]

The CCRA will transfer the carrier’s electronic export cargo and conveyance reports to Statistics Canada electronically.

Marine Conveyance Reporting

The conveyance data will include details identifying the vessel, its capacities, trade chain partners, scheduling and routing information.

For all vessels bound for Canada and transporting goods in cargo containers, the conveyance report must be transmitted electronically to Customs within 24 hours of departure from the last foreign port of loading on its direct voyage to Canada.

For all vessels bound for Canada and transporting bulk goods, the conveyance report must be transmitted electronically to Customs at least 24 hours prior to the ship’s arrival in Canada.

For all vessels bound for Canada and transporting all other goods (i.e., not bulk, not containerized), the conveyance report must be transmitted electronically to Customs within 24 hours of departure from the last foreign port of loading prior to its direct voyage to Canada, unless authorization has been granted by CCRA to transmit the conveyance report 24 hours prior to arrival in Canada.

For all vessels bound for Canada and transporting a combination of goods described above, the conveyance data must be transmitted electronically to CCRA within the most advanced (i.e. longest) timeframe stated for the goods transported. For example, for a ship carrying both containerized and bulk goods the conveyance data must be transmitted electronically to CCRA within 24 hours of departure from the last foreign port of loading.

Where the cargo is on a voyage with consortium partners, the master carrier is responsible for providing a conveyance report for the vessel. It will be the responsibility of the master carrier to advise all consortium members of the conveyance report number in a timely manner to enable their transmission of A6A cargo data. Consortium carriers should not transmit an inward A6 conveyance report.

Advance electronic conveyance reporting is not currently mandatory for vessels bound for Canada that contain only goods that were laden in the United States. Current conveyance reporting requirements will continue to be acceptable for these vessels and their cargo.

Changes to conveyance information that has been provided in advance may be made electronically at any time prior to the arrival of the vessel in Canada.

Updates to estimated time of arrival in Canada should be transmitted to Customs as required.
